It was recently announced a new woodland license was provided to a first nation’s group in Campbell River.
Wei Wai Kum was issued with the 25-year licence, which allows them to harvest around 9,900 cubic metres of timber each year from their traditional territories.
It will cover over a two thousand hectare parcel of Crown land near Heydon Bay, and another twelve hundred hectares by Pye Lake.
This is the third First Nations woodland licence given out since B.C. began the program in 2011.
