Mackenzie residents will have the opportunity to share their input on the development of the the Mackenzie forest landscape plan (FLP).
According to the province, this plan will guide long-term forest management in the area.
“This is an opportunity for Mackenzie residents to share what matters most about your forests,” said Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar.
“Forests are part of who we are and your voices guide how they’re managed. As I lead a trade mission in Asia to grow markets for B.C. wood, I’m reminded that our forests connect communities here at home to opportunities around the world.”
Residents can share their thoughts through an online survey until December 22nd, which can be found here.
Additionally, representatives from the Ministry of Forests will staff an information booth in the community at the Co-op Food Store at these dates and times:
- Saturday, Nov. 15: 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
- Wednesday, Nov. 19: 4-6 p.m.
- Wednesday, Nov. 26: 4-6 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 29: 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The survey will also be available at the information booth.
According to the province, developing FLPs is a new approach to forest stewardship that establishes clear direction for the management of forest-related values, such as old-growth trees, biodiversity, ecosystem health, climate change, watershed health and wildfire risk.
