It is my view the actions associated with BC forest stewardship are chaotic and not organized or clear to meet the needs of the 21^st century BC Forest Asset for British Columbians. These actions frequently overlap one another, are not provided clear guidance that reflects the varied nature of the Forest Asset across the province, and do not deliver on learned advice from UNB Dean Gordon Baskerville and UBC Professor Emeritus Dr. Fred Bunnell. This will result in failure to achieve the loosely mentioned government direction of increasing value-added wood production and moving toward community resiliency.

If we are to get the most value out of the varied nature of the forest resources across BC, it is my opinion foresters must be provide greater guidance and use their knowledge and innovative skills to manage the Forest Asset. A framework is needed to guide decision-makers and operations foresters on long-term stewardship, the application of management and extraction principles and a provincial vision. Such a Framework is presented in here. From chaos to resiliency-applying a framework

We need to move from a chaotic situation in BC forest stewardship to one that works under a regulatory framework, such as BC Forest renewal framework-action plan graphics

Regulations and policies are a fundamental component of a forest stewardship infrastructure and its implementation.  A presentation is provided relative to BC Forest and Range Practices Act Regulations in Approach to FRPA regulations-policies
