Planning for Sustainability in a Dynamic Landscape Workshop Series

From March – May 2006, three workshops on land management planning in British Columbia were held in Nanaimo, Prince George and Kamloops. The result of an extension request, these workshops were jointly organized by FORREX and BC’s Integrated Land Management Bureau. Specific topics addressed at each workshop were chosen based on questionnaire circulated to land use planners in British Columbia in July-August 2005. Below is a list of resources and presentations from each of these workshops. For more information, please contact Susan Leech (susan.leech@forrex.org).
