Best Practices

In responding to the Pine Beetle epidemic, many First Nations employed creative solutions tailored to meet their particular community needs. In Phase II of the impact assessment, these creative approaches were shared and an inventory of best practices was created as a resource for other First Nations. Those First Nations providing a Best Practice or an Issues Paper received a $2,500 payment for the use of their submission.

These best practices fall into 6 broad areas identified by First Nations as priorities:

1. First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Impact Best Practices - Economic Diversification Activities (March 2008)
2. First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Impact Best Practices - Economic Opportunities & Sustainability (March 2008)
3. First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Impact Best Practices - Environmental Sustainability (March 2008)
4. First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Impact Best Practices - Public Safety (March 2008)
5. First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Impact Best Practices - Recruitment, Retention & Training (March 2008)
6. First Nations Mountain Pine Beetl Impact Best Practices - Social & Cultural Sustainability (March 2008)
