Sustainable Forest Management in Canada


There has been a long tradition of cooperation between the federal and provincial/territorial governments in forestry matters. The creation of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) in 1985 has provided an important forum for the federal, provincial and territorial governments responsible for forests to work cooperatively to address major areas of common interest. The Council provides leadership on national and international issues and sets direction for the stewardship and sustainable management of Canada's forests.
