Today on the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, FPAC’s Eric Johnson and Etienne Belanger called on the federal government to prioritize wildfire prevention and mitigation. By scaling up fire mitigation initiatives like the Wildfire Resilient Futures Initiative, implementing Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) practices, and empowering Indigenous-led fire management, we can create a more resilient forest ecosystem.
