[...] Of the five significant mergers to occur in the industry in 2004 and 2005, three involved companies with major Interior forest tenure holdings and one resulted in what is now, by far, the largest forest company in the province. [...] Today, Canfor operates the largest production softwood lumber mill in the world at Houston, BC.4 The company had record profit in 2004 of $420.9 million, and is in the process of building another lumber mill in not-too-distant Vanderhoof that will rival the Houston mill in output.5 The Houston mill's high efficiency helped propel Canfor into the upper echelon of the world's top-performing forest c [...] And he hopes that the province will see the value in what he is doing and give him assured access to timber through a long-term licence agreement, similar to the licences held by the major companies in the region.

Download or read book Forest Tenures in Canada written by David Haley and published by The Branch. This book was released on 1990 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the provinces face many common forest management problems and could learn much from each other's experiences with different policy and administrative arrangements for the management of Crown lands, a detailed comparison of forest tenures across the country has never been undertaken. This study provides a framework for policy analysis within which such comparisons can be made. The report addresses the concept of forest tenures as property rights and their role in a market economy; provides a comparison of the varied public forest tenure arrangements in the 10 provinces; and addresses the problems faced by provincial governments in designing forest tenure systems to effectively meet public resource management goals. The interactions among tenure characteristics are discussed and some of the trade-offs governments must consider in pursuing multiple resource management objectives are described.

Download or read book Policies for Sustainably Managing Canada s Forests written by Martin K. Luckert and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than three quarters of Canada's forests under provincial control, provincial forest policies are crucial for encouraging the sustainable management of the nation's forests. Forest tenures, which allow private companies to manage public forest resources, are the key policy tool that provinces use to balance the requirements of sustainable management with the economic concerns of the forest industry. By offering an up-to-date comparative examination of contemporary provincial forestry policies, this book provides forest managers, policy-makers, scholars, and students with the information and concepts to critically examine Canada’s complex forest tenure systems. The authors look at tenure, stumpage fees, and other forest practices to assess how well different provincial schemes achieve the goals of sustainable forest management. They identify a number of essential policy attributes that could be used to guide tenure reform, consider potential barriers that could prevent meaningful change, and offer much-needed practical guidance on overcoming these obstacles.
