That raises another question in my mind, concerning the model forest concept developed by the Canadian Forest Service and launched at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Since then, about 15 model forests have been created in Canada.
Canadian model forests were financially supported by the federal government under the model forest program from 1992 to 2014. The program was cancelled in 2014, and only eight model forests remain.
Is the government planning to bring back the model forest program?
