This report represents the views of the members of the task force on ways that government, non-government organizations, and private industry can best promote a healthy environment and economic development within the forestry sector. In addressing the issues, the Task Force met 18 times, reviewed relevant reference material, debated background papers prepared by members, heard presentations from invited speakers, and conducted four public meetings.
