Mosaic Forest Management has clearly heard that communities value their outdoor access. After receiving what the company calls an “overwhelming” response to a survey, they will be moving forward with next steps on improving its recreation program. The survey garnered 7,600 responses in 23 days. “What we heard was clear. Communities value access to the outdoors and want more and better opportunities to do so,” said Mosaic’s CEO Duncan Davies (see report titled Public Perspectives on Recreational Access to Mosaic’s Forests). …Mosaic will next be engaging with an external consultant to explore solutions “that address existing issues and better utilize the recreational potential across the land base, while balancing recreation with safety, operational realities, and environmental protection,” Mosaic says. That will include engagement with First Nations, users, and community members. Discussions will also take place with local and provincial governments to address challenges that private forest landowners cannot resolve independently.
