Saik’uz First Nation & Vanderhoof partner, to call for innovative forestry solutions as regional industry ownership shifts
Saik’uz First nation and the District of Vanderhoof are collaborating to attempt to do forestry differently than how large corporations have done them in their locality in the past. Their intent is to support the local economy, improve and sustain the remaining forest in their purview, and implement a long term land use plan putting the health of the land ahead of monetary interests. Commenters appreciate the innovation but do not describe an easy path ahead for the region's forestry industry.
