Show Notes
British Columbias Forests Minister Ravi Parmar unveils plans to alleviate the timber crunch, including amendments to the Forest Act and Forest and Range Practices Act. These changes aim to increase wood fibre supply by up to 17,700 truckloads through auctions, targeting thinned forests, wildfire risk reduction, and salvaging damaged trees. The initiative benefits loggers, contractors, value-added mills, and First Nations partners, aiming to stabilize the supply chain. Parmar also advocates for a long-term softwood deal with the U.S. to counter tariffs, while diversifying exports by establishing a forest trade office in the U.K.
