We’re pleased to announce the release of a research summary by Anne Rooban of the Natural Resources Institute, University of Manitoba which documents and explores the benefits of community forests using the Lower North Thompson and Wells Gray Community Forests as case studies for her research.   Anne visited our communities in late 2015 and conducted a series of interviews as part of this research; her full thesis and this summary document, ‘Growing socioeconomic sustainability through Community-Based Forest Management in British Columbia’ are the results.

Have a read, it’s well written and does an excellent job of exploring the benefits of our organization and community forestry in BC.   And thank-you again to Anne for all your hard work and effort!
