Community forests remain the only sure way of
safeguarding the last of our natural resources. The public owns the
forest therefore the public should manage the resource. A simple statement
perhaps, but one proved by the number of successful community forests
already in operation around the province.
What then is the hold up? Why is a strategy to
develop viable community control of our forests not being actively
developed? The answer is simple. The BC Liberals will not make logs
available in large enough quantities to support a truly viable community
venture. They would rather hand control of “your forests”
to greedy multi national corporations and then provide them with
the means to rape and plunder both your resources and your jobs.
The Youbou TimberLess Society has a proven strategy
to manage a genuinely sustainable, ecologically friendly and financially
viable community forest and local log market. Please join us in
our fight to obtain fibre and financial support.
