Building Community
Document Actions
By working together, British Columbians can regain control of our lands, our
economy, and our future.
It won’t be easy. Communities are increasingly excluded from forestry and energy decisions in the race to implement corporate self-management.
But change is happening. We build grass-roots coalitions and help them create leverage to achieve their goals. Our approach works. We have succeeded in stopping the privatization of public lands and clawing back forest tenure for communities and First Nations.
And on energy development, in places like the Kootenays, the northwest, the Peace Region, and Hat Creek, Dogwood Initiative is working with community leaders to create leverage and catalyze unified action in response to pressure to develop coalbed methane.
We have succeeded in uniting communities to speak with one voice and have identified solutions for implementing local control.
