Surrounding the municipality of Whistler is the 33,000-hectare Cheakamus Community Forest. Logging in the forest is managed by the Lil’wat and Squamish First Nations and the Resort Municipality of Whistler. The forest’s managers sell carbon offsets to emitters to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions. Cheakamus is the only community forest in B.C. to sell carbon offsets.
In addition to managing the Cheakamus Community Forest, the municipality of Whistler is featured in the forestry film Super Natural Cedar, produced by Kelly Duncan Productions and held in the UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections.
