Thisforest: Developing A Forest Products Traceability Program for the Coast of BC 2
The research will look at how the Thisforest program advances the proposed traceability of timber, to provide a value-add to relevant industry stakeholders, including members of BC Wood and the BC Log & Timber Building Industry Association. The determination needed concerns the social and contextual value-added from forest traceability and how same will create revenue for such stakeholders and to what degree. Further to that is the need for “Proof of Concept” as initial research found that there is an industry appetite for the Thisforest traceability tool. This research will provide landowners, producers, timber brokers, and members BC Wood and of the BC Log & Timber Building Industry Association with data to make better-informed decisions on their timber traceability needs.
