Forestry’s grassroots: a conversation with Tamara Meggitt

In episode three of ForestWorks' second season, we are joined by Tamara Meggitt, an emerging advocate and organizer for grassroots forestry workers and their families.

Tamara Meggitt, grassroots organizer and advocate.

Welcome to ForestWorks, the show that talks about all things forestry — the people, the stories and the places of British Columbia’s single largest industry.

ForestWorks is brought to you by Resource Works, looking at how responsible development of British Columbia’s natural resources creates jobs and incomes throughout the province, both directly and indirectly, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

On this week’s show was speak with Tamara Meggitt, a member of a forestry family in Courtenay who has emerged as a grassroots organizer for pro-forestry rallies, events, and dialogue in BC. She had to cancel a rally planned for the legislature recently, so we thought it would be good to hear her message on another channel.
