METCHOSIN, British Columbia (AP) -- The British Columbia government is changing to forestry practices to eventually allow nearly half the timber harvest to be available through the open market.
Forest-tenure holders will be able to subdivide or transfer their cutting rights to other operators in British Columbia without penalty, allowing the industry to diversify.
The changes are intended to streamline government regulation and help lower costs for the industry, especially on the British Columbia coast where tough terrain and mixed, aging wood stocks make logging expensive.
