This report, commissioned by the Woodlot Product Development Council (WPDC), responds to a key concern raised in the 2018 annual survey of woodlot licensees: the need for guidance on succession and tax planning. With many licensees looking to transfer their woodlots to family members or sell them to third parties, this resource provides valuable information to help navigate the legal, financial, and practical aspects of woodlot succession.
Funded through the woodlot levy under the Farming and Fishing Industries Development Act (FFIDA), this initiative reflects WPDC’s commitment to supporting the long-term sustainability of the woodlot industry and serving the interests of over 850 licensees across British Columbia.
