A Cut Above

A CUT ABOVE outlines nine principles to guide the development and implementation of ecologically sustainable forest practices in coastal British Columbia. Drafted with guidance from an advisory team of scientists in the field of ecological sustainability, these guiding principles propose a fundamentally different approach to forest management and planning than the current industrial model.

The report provides an ecological rationale for each principle, as well as examples of “best practices” drawn from existing frameworks in other jurisdictions, which highlight realistic models of how the principles can be applied on the ground. Also detailed are relevant “current practices” in British Columbia and key areas of ecological uncertainty that exist regarding each principle.
