Forestry Consultations Update

Modernizing the Forest Licensing and Allocation system was the hot topic at a public consultation forum in Dryden last night.

The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and

Forestry was looking for input on what changes need to be made.

Spokesperson Brady Irwin says a final report will be presented to the Minister in charge.

One of the issues debated was what role the Provincial Government should play in determining the amount charged for Crown timber.
