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.

Dallas Smith joins us for this week’s episode of ForestWorks. The founder, president and CEO of the Nanwakolas Council, Dallas Smith is at the forefront of creating opportunity and prosperity for First Nations through responsible forestry in partnership with industry. The Council is an organization of five Vancouver Island First Nations with the mission of protecting and managing cultural values while building opportunities and partnerships with government and industry. It recently announced an agreement with Western Forest Products.
