As&nbsp;chief economist Kurt Niquidet of the Council of Forest Industries notes,&nbsp;timber harvesting on Crown land&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biv.com\/news\/resources-agriculture\/one-out-of-every-six-manufacturing-jobs-in-bc-from-forestry-study-8574537\">has declined<\/a>&nbsp;by roughly 30 per cent since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to find ways to stabilize fibre supply and build a more predictable and sustainable path forward for the sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Locally and globally, the demand for wood products for more affordable and climate-resilient housing is growing, and so is the demand for low-carbon and bio-based materials. But in the short term, we are faced with a critical shortage of timber for BC mills.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Left unchecked, reduced access to fibre supply will drive further losses in the investment, infrastructure, and workforce needed to meet those new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more challenges on top of that, including&nbsp;a shift of investment to the U.S. (plenty of available wood, and lower costs) and the damage caused by hefty American softwood lumber duties. All have contributed to&nbsp;forestry woes in BC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still,&nbsp;the BC industry provides one out of every six manufacturing jobs in the province., according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cofi.org\/new-cofi-economic-impact-study-affirms-forest-industry-vital-to-provincial-economy\/\">a report<\/a>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;Council of Forest Industries.&nbsp;The forest sector supports 49,000 jobs, the study says, and contributes $17 billion annually to B.C\u2019s gross domestic product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well, BC is wrestling with market forces. As reported by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/299583\/3b81f836-b841-43c9-bc7b-5e543d86af6b\">WoodMarket Prices<\/a>&nbsp;(ResourceWise): \u201cFor approximately thirty years, British Columbia (BC) has had the most affordable sawlog costs in North America. However, starting in 2018, there has been a decrease in timber supply, a decline in log quality, and a significant increase in wood raw-material prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFollowing the 2009 economic downturn, sawlog prices in the province rose from US$32\/m3&nbsp;to nearly US$120\/m3&nbsp;by 2022, leading the province to transition from being the cheapest to the most expensive region for logs in North America. In contrast, the sawmill sector in the US South expanded its capacity, primarily due to the exceptionally low wood costs experienced in 2023 and 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market forces and \u201ccommodity cycles\u201d&nbsp;were cited by&nbsp;BC Forests Minister Bruce Ralston in May when Canfor suspended its plan to build a $200 million state-of-the-art sawmill in Houston in northwestern BC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vancouversun.com\/opinion\/columnists\/vaughn-palmer-as-canfor-cancels-investment-bc-ndp-seems-out-of-touch-with-forestry-woes\">Canfor CEO Don Kayne<\/a>&nbsp;blamed a shortage of timber and fibre, compounded by government policies and regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ability to reliably access enough economic timber to run our manufacturing facilities is critical for our business&#8230; Unfortunately, while our province has a sufficient supply of timber available for harvest, the actual harvest level has declined dramatically. In 2023, the actual harvest was 42 per cent lower than the allowable cut, a level not seen since the 1960s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kurt Niquidet says, \u201cIt is important to recognize that the direct and indirect economic benefits from the forest sector are linked to annual timber harvest levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvest levels and fibre supply are controlled by the BC government, which at the same time as talking of safeguarding the industry has also moved to protect old-growth trees, and to help First Nations to play a bigger and more powerful role in forestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This last policy measure, which has yet to take shape, has inevitably caused uncertainty among forest investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now we have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.princegeorgecitizen.com\/local-news\/bcs-forest-cutting-permit-process-handcuffing-industry-says-lheidli-tenneh-simpcw-chiefs-9155688\">two BC First Nation<\/a>&nbsp;chiefs slamming the provincial government\u2019s slow process for granting timber-harvesting permits, saying unnecessary delays are killing the province\u2019s forest industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Lheidli T\u2019enneh Chief Dolleen Logan said, \u201cWe should be the ones doing the permitting, not the government. Put us in charge of permitting, put us in charge of taking care of our lands, as we have been doing for over 10,000 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is forestry country, which it has been forever, and we should have a say. Mills are shutting down and we need to find an economy, which is forestry, to keep the North going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Says Niquidet: \u201cIndustry, government, First Nations, local communities and workers need to come together to address current uncertainty over fibre supply and attract the investment required to build on BC\u2019s strategic advantage in the conservation and sustainable management of this renewable resource.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s long beyond time, all, to come together on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although crucial to the BC
