Forest Resource Development Agreement ends after five years
Canada’s FRDA, a $300 million five year cost-shared forestry program, expired March 31. An independent Touche Ross evaluation found most objectives met or surpassed, with backlog reforestation and intensive silviculture adding 555,000 cubic meters annually and creating 1,044 permanent jobs. The Ministry of Forests seeks a new environment enhancing agreement, while local aldermen raise Aspen research and forest management concerns in Chetwynd.
