Two years after pledging to take a new approach to the management of old-growth forests, the BC government is failing to make the grade, environmental groups say. The province promised to act on 14 recommendations in an independent old-growth strategic review to protect the most at-risk big tree ecosystems while transforming forestry over a three-year period. But the NDP government continues to lag on its most urgent and important commitments, and hasn’t completed any recommendations most of the way, a report card issued by the Wilderness Committee, Sierra Club BC, Stand.earth and Ancient Forest Alliance suggests. …“There are huge questions that old-growth nerds like us don’t have the answers to, much less the general public,” said Torrance Coste for the Wilderness Committee. “And one of the key recommendations of the strategic review was to improve public information and transparency.”
