Kimberley Community Forest $20,000

Existing structures for the management of forest areas that surround communities such as Kimberley are often characterized as unsustainable, growth-oriented, centralized, and detrimental to habitat/ecosystem processes and stability. This often creates conflict over competing land values in the areas surrounding communities. The Kimberley Community Forest Working Committee will be developing outreach materials and activities to engage the community in a discussion of the importance of informed and involved stewardship of the land. Landscape level background materials to understand past, current, and future stewardship activities will also be collected and developed. The evolving models of forest tenure in British Columbia have the potential to better address these issues if communities have the opportunity to take an active role in guiding the balance of land uses and values.
