US Edition10 years of forest work by B.C. society reduces fire risk, carbon output
The society says its projects diverted 560,000 cubic metres of low-value fibre in 2025-26 and avoided about 180,000 tonnes of emissions.
- The Forest Enhancement Society of BC completed a decade of forest management work focused on reducing wildfire risks and decreasing carbon emissions across the province.
- Through its Fibre Utilization Program, FESBC shipped about 560,000 cubic metres of low-value fibre to secondary facilities rather than open-burning it, reducing carbon footprint and improving air quality.
- Regional projects demonstrate this impact: Haida Gwaii FESBC created 24 jobs and avoided an estimated 70,000 tonnes of greenhouse emissions, while the Harrop-Procter Community Co-operative in West Kootenay reduced emissions by approximately 4,000 tonnes.
- The Nazko First Nation led a pine forest rehabilitation project near Nazko in the Cariboo, improving habitat for moose and deer while strengthening forests against wildfires that have forced community evacuations.
- FESBC Executive Director Jason Fisher noted that fire seasons are likely to become longer and more intense, requiring scalable, practical solutions through holistic forest management that balances multiple values.
