Forests of British Colombia
• In B.C there are many massive Boreal, montane, and west coast forests.
• These forests are rich in various different trees. • Over 60% of B.C forests are commercial.• Reasons for this include the fact that B.C’s
forests are aged, making the wood more valuable. However largely the reason is because B.C is so plentiful in forests.
