The Community Forest concept relies heavily on community-based ideas and knowledge gained through a Public Advisory Group (PAG) that meets 2-3 times a year. The PAG is kept informed of Community Forest activities and plans which stakeholders and the general public are invited to discuss and comment on.
The Community Forest actively solicits membership and participation in our PAG from the following sectors:
- McLeod Lake Indian Band
- Saulteau First Nation
- Halfway River First Nation
- West Moberly First Nations
