This document discusses Canada's wood resources, focusing on British Columbia (BC). It notes that trees are an important resource in BC, covering 64% of the land. The document includes a map of wood and paper mills in Canada. Trees are important to BC's economy, providing jobs, and their biggest markets are in China, Japan, the US, Taiwan, and Europe. The document also discusses sustainable harvesting and the environmental impacts of cutting down too many trees.

2. Introduction
Trees are a very big resource in
Canada. There are mass amounts of
forest ground covering Canada’s
land. Trees are a very important
resource that we need to preserve
and keep for years to come.

3. Map
This is a map of wood and paper
products mills in Canada. 64% of
B.C is forested, and B.C has about
24% of Canada’s wood on 19.5% of
the forested land.

4. Economics
Trees help B.C’s economy, because
they provide jobs for many people.
B.C’s biggest tree markets are in
China, Japan, the United States
Taiwan and Europe. India is also
starting to buy BC’s wood.

there will be a dangerous shortage
of oxygen.

without wood you wouldn’t be able
to have half the things you have
today.

Methods include:

Clear Cutting

12. Sustainability
Aboriginals were sustainable in the environment,
because they only took what they needed, and they
used every single part of what they took. We are not
being sustainable because we are taking things we
don't need, and we are wasting our resources. We can
be more sustainable in the future, by reducing,
reusing and recycling.

13. Sustainability
We can also think about if we need it or not. The
aboriginal people set a great example, that I
hope more people will follow. Trees are
sustainable in the environment, because they are
renewable. If you cut down a tree, you can always
plant a new one. Trees are sustainable, to the
point that we have used all the trees, and can
not plant any more
