Another opportunity for communities to continue the forestry dialogue

Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Initiative seeking community input on forestry issues

Another initiative aimed at getting BC communities talking about their forests is getting underway. A group of volunteers has organized community meetings to discuss forest issues in a number of BC communities this month.
