Forest Renewal British Columbia: An Experiment in the Recycling of Revenue-raising Environmental Taxation

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2002, vol. 45, issue 4, 591-606

Abstract: Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC) was created in 1994 to deliver programmes of sustainable development within the leading economic sector of the province, serving as a key element of the radical new natural resource management agenda being promoted by an interventionist provincial administration. Its funding consisted solely of the hypothecated revenues of a 'super' stumpage on timber harvesting. This paper considers the role FRBC played in helping to gain agreement to changes in provincial land use planning and forest strategy, and evaluates its effectiveness as an eco-tax recycling mechanism.
