Towards A New Forest Policy, a discussion paper by the Prince Edward Island Forestry Commission, outlines 13 key issues related to our forests and the forestry sector. These include the future legislative framework, government assistance to woodlot owners and the forest industry, the protection of forest ecosystems, and the need to develop more resilient forests.
The public meetings will help the Commission understand more about Islanders’ forestry priorities and the issues facing PEI forests.
All meetings will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Abram-Village meeting will be bilingual and simultaneous interpretation will be available.
There will be time for general comments and questions from the public. However, those wishing to make a formal presentation are asked to contact Forestry Commission Chair Jean-Paul Arsenault, at jparsenault@gov.pe.ca (link sends e-mail), indicating which meeting they wish to attend.
