With 55 million hectares of forested land and an advantageous location with port access on Canada’s West Coast, British Columbia’s (B.C.) roots in forestry run deep.
B.C. is one of the world’s largest exporters of wood products – from wood pellets to pulp to biofuels. We have earned a global reputation for our sustainable forest practices with more forests certified environmentally sustainable than any comparable jurisdiction in the world.
Using the latest technology, such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and drones to manage its forests, B.C. can more effectively monitor and analyze timberland health, growth and inventory.
The forestry industry in British Columbia continues to be successful and sustainable, with decades of experience in best practices, strong fiscal management, and effective forest management in place to protect this wealth of natural resources.
