The forestry sector remains a viable operation for New Brunswick, but how to maintain the resource for the future remains open to debate.
As some industry leaders call for more access to Crown wood, others seek greater conservation on provincial forests. So political and industry leaders must find a balance.
On Oct. 1, provincial forestry task force member Dr. Thom Erdle visited Juniper to deliver the task force’s findings and recommendations to area residents and stakeholders.
Erdle said the point of the meeting was to present opportunities on how to better manage New Brunswick’s public forests, about three million hectares.
