The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) yesterday announced the award of two brand-new concessions to the Ituni Small Loggers Association (ISLA).
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that the 12, 500 acres in Berbice and 9,933 acres in Demerara, will be available to the loggers as soon as they sign their contracts with the Forestry Commission and also finish the demarcation process.
At a meeting yesterday, GFC’s Corporate Secretary, Attorney Jacey Archibald said where usually groups are allowed only one concession, the commission’s technical committee took into account the good stewardship demonstrated by ISLA, fully utilising existing areas.
