FOUR PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES were directly responsible for about 37 percent of the total volume of forest cut on public land in BC in 2020. The four companies are Canfor, Interfor, West Fraser Timber, and Western Forest Products. It's likely these companies bought a considerable additional volume of logs to feed their various mills.

Unless the volume of forest cut by these four companies and their contractors is reduced, little progress can be made toward resolving the ecological degradation, economic stagnation and physical threats they are creating.
