Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd. (CCR) continues to make strong progress at their Palmer Lake Project in the Cariboo Chilcotin.
They noted early results show positive outcomes on the land and benefits for local communities.
CCR said their team is seeing firsthand how large-scale rehabilitation work is helping burned forested areas back to health while creating steady employment across remote First Nations communities in the Cariboo Chilcotin.
“The work we are doing is more important than ever with BC’s forest sector facing uncertainty due to tariffs, limited wood fibre supply, and mills curtailing operations,” Daniel Persson, Registered Professional Forester and CCR’s Forestry Superintendent said, “By taking on large scale rehabilitation work, we are helping create stable jobs for workers and supporting communities, many which are more rural and remote, that rely on forestry.”
Percy Guichon, Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation CEO, said this work is imperative if we want to have healthy forests in the future.
“We’re doing something with these dead forested areas that haven’t been touched for almost a decade,” he said.
For CCR the Palmer project is more than a technical effort, but one that reflects a long-term commitment to rehabilitating and healing the land.
As it continues, Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation and its partners, including investments by the Forest Enhancement Society of BC and Natural Resources Canada, remain focused on creating resiliency in the region.
