CLEARWATER – The Wells Gray Community Forest Corporation (WGCFC) will be holding a Community Forest Input Session tomorrow (Nov. 20). The goal is to share updates with the public regarding current and upcoming forestry projects, as well as get a better understanding of the community’s perception.
“We are given the opportunity to share some of the goals we have as a community forest, while also giving community members lots of time to ask questions and provide their feedback and ideas,” shared George Brcko, General Manager of the WGCFC. “We then will take this input from community, and together with the best practices for good forest management, we will develop a forest management plan and our operational objectives.”
Joel Steinberg, President of the WGCFC Board of Directors, believes this is a great opportunity to get member of the community more involved.
“Often, there is a lack of interest from the public about our community forest, and we know part of that falls on us to do a better job communicating to invite people to learn and share,” said Steinberg. “Our collective interest is specifically focused on how we manage our community forest resource well so that many generations from now, the community forest is thriving and generating income to help pay for things the community needs and wants.”
