href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content\/industry\/forestry\/managing-our-forest-resources\/forest-landscape-plans\" title=\"\">new framework<\/a> for sustainable forest management. The plan is being developed collaboratively between First Nations and the Province, reflecting a shared commitment to long-term stewardship, recognition of Indigenous title and rights, and resilient landscapes for future generations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cariboo\u2013Chilcotin region is home to diverse ecosystems, wide-ranging wildlife, culturally significant areas, working forests, grasslands, watersheds, and communities that rely on the land for economic, social, and cultural wellbeing. First Nations have stewarded these lands since time immemorial.&nbsp;Their knowledge, laws, and governance systems are foundational to the development of the FLP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supports healthy ecosystems and biodiversity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced wildlife risk and strengthens fire stewardship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protects water and watershed health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respects and upholds First Nations rights, interests, and cultural values<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustains local economies and forest-based communities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Builds resilience against climate change and cumulative impacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The planning process integrates scientific analysis, modelling,&nbsp;First Nation&nbsp;knowledge, and community input. Technical working groups are contributing&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;to help define desired future conditions, indicators, planning guidelines, and monitoring approaches that align with shared landscape values.&nbsp;Meaningful engagement with communities, local governments, industry, and interested parties is an important part of this process. Input helps ensure that the FLP reflects local priorities while supporting a sustainable forest sector and resilient communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cariboo\u2013Chilcotin FLP is intended to be a living, adaptive plan\u2014one that evolves through collaboration, learning, and ongoing stewardship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/planninginpartnership.ca\/p\/67dcaa40f2b5af00399085de\/project-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the project page<\/a>&nbsp;to learn more and&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in the engagement process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open houses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>April 29 &#8211; 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, Williams Lake, Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May 2 &#8211; 10 am to 12 pm, Alexis Creek at the Community Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contribution\">How your contribution makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Cariboo-Chilcotin&nbsp;Forest Landscape Plan is in Phase 2 of the\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/planninginpartnership.ca\/flp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5-phase process for developing a FLP<\/a>.
