In the face of significant challenges—from mill closures to tariffs and shifting global markets—one question we hear more than any other from people: “What can I actually do to help?”

When the headlines are dominated by uncertainty, it can feel like the hurdles facing the forest industry are too large for any one person to influence. But there is a powerful way to make your voice heard and tell the provincial government it isn’t just an industry priority but a priority for every British Columbian that wants a resilient future.

That way is Forestry is a Solution.

A Growing Groundswell of Support

Forestry is a Solution is a province-wide initiative led by a broad coalition of workers, community leaders, and industry advocates.

The response has been incredible. Join the nearly 1,600 British Columbians who have already signed the petition and the 850 who have sent direct letters to their MLAs, the Minister of Forests, and the Premier.

This movement is gaining rapid traction at the local level as well. More than 20 municipal councils across the province have already moved to officially endorse the campaign, recognizing that the health of our forest sector is directly tied to the stability of our schools, hospitals, and local businesses.

Why Your Voice Matters Now

By joining this effort, you are helping advocate for four immediate, common-sense priorities:

1. Speed up access to wood to ensure timber reaches mills predictably.
2. Improve competitiveness by reducing the administrative burdens that drive investment away.
3. Fix BC Timber Sales to ensure a reliable supply of logs for manufacturers of all sizes.
4. Support First Nations partnerships to empower Nations as full economic partners.

We know that when the right conditions are in place, forestry is a solution for the biggest challenges facing BC. It provides the low-carbon materials for affordable housing, the active management needed to reduce wildfire risks, and the family-sustaining jobs that anchor our province.
