Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd. (CCR) reports significant progress in forest rehabilitation near Palmer Lake, BC, generating positive outcomes for land and local communities. The project has created numerous jobs for Indigenous workers, with every dollar invested yielding approximately four dollars in economic return.

CCR's efforts are crucial amid challenges in British Columbia's forestry sector, including tariffs and limited wood supply. The rehabilitation work targets areas previously damaged by wildfire, utilizing burned wood to reduce future fire risks while supporting pulp mills and bioenergy companies.

Investments from the Forest Enhancement Society of BC and Natural Resources Canada are contributing to the project's success. CCR emphasizes a commitment to long-term land health and sustainability in the Cariboo Chilcotin region.
