What happened
The New Forest Act, which originated in Grand Forks and the Boundary region, was presented to Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship Randene Neill and Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar by the Boundary Forest Watershed Stewardship Society. The Act proposes a Protect-Restore-Harvest framework that prioritizes ecological balance over timber flow in forestry activity.

Why it matters
The Act challenges the current government framework by shifting resource management away from prioritizing timber flow toward prioritizing ecological balance. This proposal aims to protect primary forests and concentrate timber harvesting in areas that meet ecological limits.
