No – the Board reports to government and to the public on the state of forest practices, but it is an independent agency and does not take direction from the Ministry of Forests or any other government ministry.
The Board makes all its reports and recommendations public, including to the media, which has been an effective method to persuade the forest industry and government to act in response.
The Board conducts its work throughout British Columbia, and we respectfully acknowledge the territories of the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial.
