SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY Ontario’s forests are a crucial element of the provincial environment and economy which must be maintained for future generations. The people of Ontario have a right and a responsibility to participate in decisions affecting the management of Ontario’s forest resources. On May 7, 1991, Natural Resources Minister Bud Wildman announced the government’s Sustainable Forestry program designed to improve the management of Ontario’s forests and give citizens a stronger voice in policy development and decision making. A Forest Policy Panel and a number of public advisory committees will be established to assist in the development of new forest policy. The panel and these committees will provide opportunities for Ontario residents, from all walks of life, to participate in forest policy development on a variety of subjects over the next several years.
