Regeneration is central to Canada’s approach to sustainable forest management, and it’s especially critical in landscapes affected by wildfire. In recent years, British Columbia has faced fire seasons of unprecedented scale… In the central interior, Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd. (CCR)—an Indigenous-owned company focused on forest rehabilitation and enhanced fibre utilization—is showing how responsible salvage can turn these challenging landscapes into healthier forests and renewable energy opportunities. …The benefits reach well beyond fibre recovery. Removing dead, densely packed stems reduces the potential for reburns and protects regenerating seedlings, helping new forests establish more quickly and capture more carbon over time. …Strong partnerships make this possible. CCR’s work is supported by government programs that help offset the high cost of planning, environmental safeguards and access development. …As Jason Fisher, Executive Director of the Forest Enhancement Society of BC, notes, CCR’s work is helping shape the future of post-wildfire recovery in BC.
