An Oral History of Woodlots

An Oral History of Woodlots

In October 2023, David Brownstein interviewed Brian McNaughton, woodlot licensee (W1808) and former FBCWA General Manager, in Williams Lake, about his decades in the British Columbia forest industry. Included are two different versions of our conversation. The first is the full 1h 23min account. While the second file is a shortened version, with a focus on woodlot licences, at 39 minutes. The interviews are also posted on the Forest History Association of British Columbia’s website.
