The Canadian Council of Forest Ministers, on behalf of all Canadian, is trustee of Canada's National Forest Strategy, which constantly evolves and brings the forest community together.
National Forest Strategy (2003-2008), A Sustainable Forest: The Canadian Commitment
The current fifth National Forest Strategy (2003-2008), A Sustainable Forest: The Canadian Commitment, is a result of consensus building, public engagement, independent evaluations, and expanding partnerships. The Strategy provides an overarching national vision and framework for action across the country in areas of ecosystem management, community resilience and capacity-building, rights and participation of Aboriginal peoples, forest industry products and market access, science and innovation for competitiveness, urban forestry and public outreach, private woodland contributions, and reporting and accountability.
The National Forest Strategy Coalition (NFSC) oversees the implementation of the National Forest Strategy and its companion the third Canada Forest Accord. The Accord is a policy statement that complements the Strategy by showcasing the diversity of governmental and non-governmental signatories in a way that strengthens national consensus, reaffirms collective commitment to work together and visibly demonstrates Canada’s commitment to a sustainable forest.
