Islanders had an opportunity to provide input to the PEI Forestry Commission on what they see as forestry priorities during the second of six public meetings being held across the province. The commission is working to create a new forest policy for the province and wanted public feedback on what Islanders believe that policy should include. Over a dozen attendees gathered for an informal, open meeting. Woodlot owners and other attendees shared their thoughts and questions to Jean-Paul Arsenault, chair of the Forestry Commission, and other members of the commission. …Mr Arsenault said the province’s Forest Management Act – passed in 1988, is due for a review. A discussion paper has been created, giving a summary of what the members of the Forestry Commission have learned since they were appointed in January of 2023, listing 13 issues the Commission believes are critical to the development of a new forest policy.
