Tsideldel First Nation and Tl’etinqox Government released a five-part series to showcase forestry.
Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation (CCR) said part of the challenge in showing the industry is that it’s away from the public eye, which the videos, filmed and produced by CCR, look to change.
CCR Executive Director, Percy Guichon said “When people see heavy machinery roll into the forest, they’re often not aware of the prescriptive and careful work that goes into thinning or harvesting a forested stand, nor what the harvested trees and residuals are used for.”
“Our video series will showcase forestry work happening within the Cariboo Chilcotin on our traditional territories and help provide awareness of the benefits of this forestry work.”
The videos highlight benefits such as economic and environmental benefits, and social benefits between the two First Nations and other surrounding communities.
More information, and where to find the videos, can be found on the Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation website here.
