It is great to see a government taking the lead for forestry. Should include reduced red tape. Faster approval process for harvest and water crossings. Private land forestry could be encouraged by more use of Managed Forest Tax Improvement Plans and the use of that program. More investment on how to utilize low value wood. Pellet plants. Hydro generated by low value wood. Training programs for equipment operators in south-central ontario. And the province will have to address the issue of third party liability and insurance rates for businesses that cannot afford the increases in their premiums taking money out of their bottom lines. Economic analysis of any future species at risk before implemented. All will continue to support the industry in the years ahead.
