We published our first major report, Connecting Lands and People: the
Community Forest Movement in British Columbia, in fall 2002.
It places BC’s community forest activism in
the context of worldwide land reform movements, and analyses the community
forestry’s successes, hurdles, and opportunities. The report then distills
lessons of interest to all community activists. The Findings section draws
from these lesons to outline five keys for success.
You can view this report in electronic form, review the Executive Summary, or write us to purchase a bound copy for $15.
We have also published public submissions and reports on the following subjects:
- The 2002
Forest Practices Code, which, coupled with cutbacks to forestry
enforcement staff, appears to give the companies so much flexibility there
might as well be no regulation of forest practices;
-
Weyerhaeuser’s takeover of MacMillan Bloedel—which, due to NAFTA,
hinders real forest policy reforms and the creation of parks, and which our
campaign almost stopped in 2000;
- A 1999 “Campaign for Public Lands” backgrounder, part of our successful campaign to stop the transfer to MacBlo/Weyerhaeuser of 120,000 hectares of land for unregulated private forestry, as compensation for park creation
