First Nation Forestry Program | |||||||
The
First Nation Forestry Program (FNFP) is designed to help improve economic
conditions in First Nations communities by building on economic opportunities
arising from sustainable management of the forest resource. The FNFP
supports communities in developing better and more varied co-operative
ventures from which viable and sustainable long-term jobs can be created. Activities supported through the FNFP include the development and updating of forest management plans including silvicultural activities, business planning and management studies, marketing of forest products, accessing off-reserve forest management opportunities, identifying potential funding sources, and feasibility studies. Eligible recipients for contributions are duly elected Indian band councils and tribal councils representing Indian bands, First Nations organizations and any other First Nations group or company involved in improving economic conditions in status Indian communities who can contribute to the objectives of the FNFP. The Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada is responsible for the overall delivery and implementation of the FNFP, except in the Yukon Territory where Indian and Northern Affairs Canada assumes that role. |
