New forestry management strategy to create jobs, investment
A new forestry management strategy will encourage investment, maintain thousands of jobs, create hundreds of new jobs and manage Crown forests in a sustainable way. “Putting our Resources to Work, a Strategy for Crown Lands Forest Management” is expected to lead to the harvesting of an additional 660,000 cubic metres of softwood on Crown land, creating more than an additional 500 permanent private-sector jobs and 1,200 construction jobs as mills modernize.
