John Rustad, MLA and BC Liberal critic for forests, lands and natural resources.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to another episode of Forest Works, the show that talks about all things forestry – the people, the stories and the places of British Columbia’s single largest industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode, John Rustad relates his personal story in forestry, first as a working professional and later as BC\u2019s minister responsible for the portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us every Saturday morning for a new episode of ForestWorks. Or tune in to Radio NL 610AM Kamloops<\/a>, Saturdays at 7 AM Pacific as we focus on the people, places, and stories of this important and often complicated industry that drives the BC economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
