The latest Woodlots Weekly from Woodlots BC kicks off with a call for feedback on access gates—licensees are asked to share their experiences managing gated roads on their woodlots to help gauge how widespread this practice is and inform future discussion. Executive Director Gord Chipman then emphasizes the importance of sharing Woodlots BC social media content to broaden understanding of the great forestry work happening on small woodlots and help spread that message beyond the immediate community. The newsletter features a member spotlight on veteran woodlot licensee Gary Burns from the Slocan Valley and points readers to a short video highlighting his long-term stewardship. Updates include changes to the waste and residue policy by the Ministry of Forests, including new effective dates for the interior and coastal regions, and announcements about the 2026 SISCO workshop and a range of upcoming forestry events.
