Bill Johnston

I nominate our recent Chief Forester Diane Nicholls to the BC Forestry Hall of Shame. She has raised the conflict of interest bar so high---advocating for the wood pellet industry (using debunked information) then joining the executive of the world's largest wood pellet company---few will be able to match her. While in office she constituted a board of advisers, the "Chief Forester's Leadership Team", comprised of top foresters of the biggest forest firms in BC, ensuring that logging operations would be maximized at the expense of the public interest and BC ecosystems. She's peddled dubious information about the dangers of glyphosate, fiddled with AAC allotments, and generally shown herself to be no friend of the forests nor the people of British Columbia.
