Throughout human history, forests and their management have been a major contributor to our success, from being sources of fuel to shelter, medicines, shade and hunting and foraging grounds. In this issue of Branchlines magazine, we look at how our connection to forests plays out in a modern context, particularly in British Columbia. You’ll see examples of present-day community and small-scale forestry, along with grassroots organizations and emerging value-added businesses, that are reshaping the profession and its connection to communities and the environment.
