New wildfire salvage agreements to link with First Nations
PRINCE GEORGE — The BC Ministry of Forests announced that New Wildfire Salvage Opportunity Agreements will provide forestry licenses to First Nations for salvaging timber damaged by wildfires.
Through this process, the government says that there will be enhanced forest regrowth throughout BC and the ability to salvage more hectares of forests damaged by wildfire.
Joe Nemeth from the BC Pulp and Paper Coalition says that these agreements will benefit both environment and industry, calling it a win-win for both.
