Changes in 2021 to the Forest and Range Practices Act have introduced the concept of “Forest Landscape Plans” to BC. What is that? The Ministry of Forests has created a document “Forest Landscape Planning FAQs” to answer your questions. Click on the link below to download a copy.
Forest Landscape Planning is expected to be phased in over time. Part of the Discovery Islands Forest Conservation Project area—that portion that lies in the Sunshine Coast Forest District—is already involved in a “trial” of this new planning concept. We will update this section as we learn more.
That part of the project area that is in the Campbell River Forest District is not yet subject to Forest Landscape Planning. Moreover, TimberWest has recently created two Forest Stewardship Plans for TFL 47 under the old planning regime. Both those plans have terms of 10 years. So it is unlikely that any “Forest Landscape Planning” will be done on Quadra, Sonora, the Thurlows or Hardwicke Island in the foreseeable future.
