forestry facts

Canadian foresters operating on public land must submit a comprehensive forest management plan for approval by provincial governments before a single tree is harvested.[20]

Canada is a leader in how we sustainably manage our forests and has some of the strictest provincial and federal regulatory frameworks in the world.[2] Before a single tree is harvested, Canadian foresters operating on public land (where 90% of Canada’s forests are located) engage in community consultation with Indigenous partners, community representatives, and environmental groups. They also submit a comprehensive forest management plan for approval by provincial governments before a single tree is harvested.[20]
