Mountain Pine Beetle
In September 2005, the BC First Nations Leadership Council convened a meeting of First Nations Chiefs to discuss the MPB infestation and the ways and means of accessing funds to address the situation. The meeting was held in Prince George, BC and was attended by over 100 representatives of concerned First Nations. Participants discussed priority issues and drafted a First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Action Plan. For more information regarding the Mountain Pine Beetle please click here.
Policy Development and Reform
Our goal is to provide expertise in forest policy that supports
First Nations in managing the issues related to forest resource
management in their traditional territories. Forest policy changes from
the Provincial and Federal government have never been more extensive
and we are working to provide as much up to date information on
potential impacts to our communities as possible. Further to the
incredible changes in provincial and federal policy; First Nations title
cases have lead the way in strengthening our communities interests over
their traditional territories as it relates to the ongoing infringement
of the forest sector. The FNFC is promoting First Nations interests
and priorities with the provincial and federal government in the best
interest of our communities. Read more.
Research & Extensions
First Nations people are active participants in forest research at
local, national and international levels. We have taken the lead on
designing and implementing research in areas of critical importance to
our communities and organizations. The First Nations Forest Council aims
to support communities as they strive to improve their research
capacity and where necessary lead research initiatives addressing
province-wide forestry issues. Read more.
