Forest Practices Guidelines
Manitoba Conservation is committed to developing forest practice guidebooks that provide direction for forestry activities in Manitoba. Provincial government agencies responsible for managing Crown forests are co-operating with forest product companies to develop effective forest practice guidelines. The Manitoba government extends its full support of the development of forest practice guidelines and we are committed to following these guidelines. These wise forest management practices will help ensure that Manitoba's forests, and the values they provide, will continue to serve future generations. » more info
