Canadian Forest Owners and McGill University researchers have launched the first national survey of private forest owners in over 20 years. With some 50% of farmers across Canada owning woodlots, the results of the survey could help shape policy at both the federal and provincial level. According to Woodlots BC, there are 836 woodlot licensees totalling 576,627 hectares in the province, with an estimated economic impact of $113 million. The three-part survey closes September 14. www.forestowners.ca/about/survey/

Kevin Boon is stepping down as general manager of the BC Cattlemen's Association after 17 years to become CEO of the Saskatchewan Cattle Association. Boon has more than 40 years’ experience in the cattle industry, including leadership roles with Alberta Beef Producers and the Canadian Cattle Association. During his tenure with BC Cattlemen’s, Boon has helped the industry navigate wildfire, drought and hay shortages, as well as been a powerful advocate for improved water storage. Known as a bridge-builder, his experience will be greatly missed by the BC farm and ranch sector.
