The pine beetle infestation that ravaged more than half of B.C.’s merchantable pine forest explains much of the production decline.

And climate change explains this.

The reality is that there's no going back - the decline is permanent.

Around where I live you can see how cedar trees are suffering from  droughty periods that are longer now than they used to be.

And we probably haven't seen anything yet.

...tenure redistribution from larger to smaller operators, and a return to a more prescriptive forestry practices regime have also raised costs and limited access to timber for lumber producers, undermining investment and dampening employment in the industry."

This is where the opportunities are. Someone recently pointed out that Sweden cuts a fraction of the amount of timber we do yet they create more jobs, value and wealth with it than we do.

This is how fishing opportunities could have been distributed if BC had control of its marine fisheries instead of Ottawa who chose to concentrate opportunities into fewer often already very wealthy hands.

Looks like we should have adapted instead of wasting our money and time on that
