Message from the Chair
“ With support from the governments of B.C. and Canada, the Forest Enhancement Society of BC has been enabling others to reduce greenhouse gases, protect communities from wildfire, improve wildlife habitat, and create jobs for British Columbians. This work generates immense social, economic, and environmental benefits, now and into the future.�
The FESBC Board of Directors is pleased with the ongoing delivery of many successful projects to date. The Board is particularly delighted when creative people in B.C. find ways to achieve multiple benefits with their projects. For example, when a community reduces their wildfire risk while at the same time improving wildlife habitat, creating recreational trails, and using the resulting fibre to make sustainable green energy, the benefits of each dollar is multiplied many-fold. When British Columbians enhance our forests, we are bequeathing an inheritance to our children and grandchildren: cleaner air, fewer greenhouse gases, better timber supply, higher quality wildlife habitat, and safer communities. This is a legacy of which we can all be proud.
