Forest Legacy - Ordering information

The Alberta Forest Legacy sets out a management approach that reflects citizens' desires to maintain, on provincially-owned land, their access to the diverse economic, cultural and recreational benefits that are provided by and dependent upon sustainable forest ecosystems.

The Alberta Forest Legacy is an implementation framework built upon the recommendations provided to government through public consultation since 1990, including Alberta's Round Table on the Environment and Economy; Forest Management in Alberta: Report of the Expert Panel, and the Alberta "Forest Conservation Strategy". It is a continuation of a 60-year process of incremental change, driven by advancements in knowledge and changes in public demands on the forest landscape.

The Alberta Forest Legacy shifts beyond land management practices designed for single outputs, such as timber and oil. It challenges us to look at a much broader landscape and to blend considerations of all resource values, measurable and perceived, when making our management decisions.
