The Private Forest Landowners Association (PFLA) represents owners of private Managed Forest land in BC. Although private forest land accounts for a small percentage of the province, it plays a significant role in the lives of British Columbians.

There is a constant challenge to balance private property rights, landowner objectives, and public values. Over 30 Acts and regulations currently apply to private forest land, including the Water Act, Wildlife Act, Drinking Water Protection Act and Fisheries Act.

The Private Managed Forest Land Act regulates forest practices in the Managed Forest program. PFLA members also address key public environmental values by following their Best Management Practices (BMP) program.
