To begin with, most privately managed forest lands in British Columbia are quite small areas in comparison to the Crown lands there, and because they're private lands, they are governed by regulations. I wouldn't say the regulations aren't as stringent, but they're more results-based. They have more opportunities to do things quickly, I would say.
If an outbreak happens on privately managed forest land, the owners are able to address the issue very quickly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, depending on the pest and the private lands.
The other focus on private land, of course, is the economic base. They're looking for maintaining their operation and getting the best value out of it, so they do invest in innovation. They invest in doing things differently on the land base in terms of forest management, not doing the same thing everywhere. If there is an outbreak, they shift funds right away to addressing the issue and figuring out what's best to do.
But when you're looking at something as big as the mountain pine beetle, it's very difficult to do anything different from what we do on Crown land. It's really a matter of working together for the best solutions.
