The Resources North Association, encompassing 25 million hectares of land in the north central interior of British Columbia, is located in the heartland of Canada’s softwood lumber producing region. The Resources North Association encompasses the city of Prince George and extends from the northern reaches of the Caribou region to the northern limits of the Fraser River drainage basin. RNA is working with communities to integrate their needs into land and resource management plans. The Association's recent project areas include climate change, integrated resource management, alternative energy and non-timber forest products, recruiting forestry professionals, and online access to land use plans. Resources North has initial project areas of interest in South Peace, Mackenzie, and Vanderhoof-Fort St James, where local partnerships will begin to address critical Integrated Resource Management issues. There are growing interests from communities and sectors for this proposed work. The interest has never been higher in the north to work at solutions that derive additional long-term benefits, reduce the environmental footprint, and facilitate analysis and decision-making that take a more integrative approach across the active sectors and communities.
