Vision
In our vision, the Northern Forest of the future will have:
- Thriving communities;
- A strong and diverse economy;
- A healthy ecosystem;
- Regional capacity, pride and commitment.
With a strong, diverse economy, the Northern Forest will attract
investment and provide good jobs. Healthy communities will
provide high quality education and foster high levels of civic
engagement. The forest will supply the resources for a revitalized
forest-product manufacturing sector and the landscape for a world-class
tourism and recreation industry.
Pride in the region’s distinct identity and shared history,
culture and values will engage people in strengthening their
communities and the region. The Northern Forest will have the
communication and transportation systems, social networks, and
“green infrastructure” to thrive in every way. The people of
the region will be committed to working together across the social,
economic and geographic barriers that so often divide people. |
