Small Scale Salvage Program

Within the North Island - Central Coast Forest District

 

The focus of the North Island - Central Coast Forest District's salvage program is to recover dead and down crown timber that would otherwise be lost to biotic or abiotic factors.  Although cedar tends to be the primary interest, all species are eligible. Those who are interested in salvage must determine if the timber is crown, versus private, property.

As a rule, timber within a Marine setting (be it beached or free floating) or Lake (free floating only) is eligible for consideration, providing there are no conflicts with higher level issues.  If situated on land, the timber is eligible for consideration if the proponent can demonstrate the wood is within the chart area of BCTS or vacant crown land.  For more details on the specifics of what to do, please visit the respective salvage opportunities listed to the left of this page.

As the name suggests, small scale salvage is for any qualified resident of British Columbia wishing to utilize relatively small volumes of timber.  In the event you are unable to secure the volumes required to meet your needs, you are encouraged to seek other opportunities through larger organizations such as the BC Timber Sales program or purchasing from major tenure holders.
