About this listen

 ForestWorks seeks to bring out the facts and important perspectives on one of British Columbia's top economic and social pillars - forestry. The industry supports 100,000 jobs while producing numerous products we all rely on every day - and the raw products industries as diverse as specialty guitar makers and paper towel plants cannot survive without. And yet, there are those who seek to shut the industry down, based largely on misinformation campaigns. On our show we speak with a broad range of figures to bring out the real facts and perspectives - mayors, MLAs, foresters, academics, even activists, and more. It's lively, it's real. It's factual. ForestWorks is hosted by Stewart Muir.© 2023 ForestWorks Economics Politics & Government Science
