Three years after an audit found the P.E.I. government was failing to manage its public forests in accordance with its own laws and policies, a followup audit has found almost all recommendations remain unfulfilled. In a followup report to its original 2023 examination of the province’s forestry management practices, P.E.I.’s auditor general found only one of its eight recommendations have been implemented. The 2023 audit, which focused on publicly owned forested lands, found the province had not reviewed its forest policy since 2006 and had not established plans to manage public forest districts. The audit also found the province had not publicly released state of the forest reports every 10 years, as required under the Forest Management Act. The audit found that the province had not ensured wood used for biomass heating of public buildings was harvested in a sustainable manner.
