Utilizing our forests is how we manage them.

Today, Premier Eby released his governments' mandate letters to Ministers. What's telling is a focus on business as usual with little mention of past commitments to shift paradigms in resource use and land management.

In defence of dead trees.
The old analogy is that dead trees (snags or large fallen trees) have more living cells in them than live trees.
This is due to the fact that many species depend on/specialize on dead or decaying trees. Natural forests have higher levels of large fallen trees and snags
