With so many British Columbians tuning in to the world of forestry, understanding the facts on the ground and the politics behind the scenes has never been so important.
That’s why Resource Works is excited to launch ForestWorks, a weekly program providing important perspectives on the future of forestry.
Stewart Muir, the executive director and founder of Resource Works, is also the host of the ForestWorks show.
“ForestWorks brings us into one of the most dynamic and renewable industries in British Columbia and that is forestry,” said Muir, pictured below. “It’s also the largest industry, accounting for 18 percent of the base economy here, and we’ll be bringing this to life by exploring the people, places and stories of forestry.”
Join us every Friday morning for a new episode of the ForestWorks podcast. Or tune in to Radio NL 610AM Kamloops, Saturdays at 7 AM Pacific for the ForestWorks Show, as we focus on the people, places, and stories of this important and often complicated industry that drives the BC economy.
