Of British Columbia's 234 million acres, 134 million, or 57 percent, are classified as forest land. Responsibility for managing thisresource lies largely with the provincial government. The government is not, however, in the business of logging ormanufacturing timber products to any significant extent. The overall objective for government is, therefore, to find the mosteconomically efficient and socially beneficial long-term means ofconveying the publicly owned resource to private ownership forprocessing. It is in relation to this objective that the issuesdiscussed here arise. The articles in this volume are grouped in three main sections. Thefirst details the fundamental and historical relationship betweengovernment and the timber resource. The second analyses appraisals andalternative sales structures. The third focuses on sustained yield andon the ecological and social-use issues connected with timberpolicy.
