About
The Private Forest Landowners Association (PFLA) represents over 96% of the private Managed Forest land in British Columbia. PFLA members include individuals, families and investors in companies.
Managed Forests (MF’s) provide their owners and the public with many economic, social and environmental benefits. There is a constant challenge to balance these public and private values.
To enhance the investment climate on BC's private forest lands and generate more economic activity, jobs and expanded benefits for British Columbian's, the PFLA works with the provincial government to maintain an innovative regulatory model for BC's private forest lands.
This model includes environmental standards to better protect key environmental values under a cost-effective administrative structure with incentives to attract more of BC's private forest land into the MF program.
