This report represents the views of the members of the task force on ways that government, non-government organizations, and private industry can best promote a healthy environment and economic development within the forestry sector. In addressing the issues, the Task Force met 18 times, reviewed relevant reference material, debated background papers prepared by members, heard presentations from invited speakers, and conducted four public meetings. This document discusses the changes in place and underway and the directions for change in aboriginal issues, biological diversity, decision-making and institutional change, global climate change, harvesting methods, pest management, private land forests, protected areas, pulp and paper industrial effluent, solid waste management, worker protection and involvement, and the economics of both timber for the industry and non-timber forest values.

The panel consulted people across Ontario to help create a comprehensive forest policy framework, the cornerstones of which are a goal for Ontario's forests, 11 strategic objectives addressing major forest values, and 16 principles to guide people's behaviour in forest use and management. The framework also includes broad definitions for Ontario's forests, forest sustainability, community and resource use sustainability, and adaptive ecosystem management. This document describes the four main goals and outlines methods of implementation.
