Salvage

Small Scale Salvage

The Small Scale Salvage program in the Queen Charlotte Islands Forest District is responsible for the administration of disposal of small volumes of timber within our district.  It specifically deals with volumes less than 50 m³.

Small scale salvage is the recovery of individual trees or small patches of diseased or fallen timber considered uneconomic by the commercial forest industry. 

Salvage timber in this district is limited to trees that are: 

• windthrown

• logging operations residue.

Applications to salvage dead standing trees will not be accepted.

All requirements of the Forest Practices Code and various resource management plans must be complied with.
