The B.C. government is inviting British Columbians to provide input into improving the Forest and Range Practices Act.

A discussion paper, Forest and Range Practices Act Improvement Initiative: Renewal and Resilience, and feedback form are available online: http://engage.gov.bc.ca/forestandrangepractices

Feedback can be provided until July 15.

The Forest and Range Practices Act governs on-the-ground forest and range activities on B.C.'s public forests and rangelands. Guiding principles for proposed changes include putting the resiliency of the land first, public trust, reconciliation with First Nations and scientific knowledge, as well as flexibility and adaptation.

Feedback from the engagement process will inform changes to the Forest and Range Practices Act and regulations that are planned over the next two years.
