|
Paying out funds for
fire damaged plantations (FRPA section 108)
|
To fulfill Ministry’s
obligations and ensure that destroyed plantations
are put back into production.
|
1.5

Research to support
MBP reforestation
|
To provide consolidation
on MPB research and reforestation and developing
trials for research gaps.
|
0.6
|
|
53.2% completion of
aerial photography acquisition of the MPB affected
areas
|
To support planning
of silviculture activities. It will also be used
for timber supply analysis.
|
1.2
|
|
Aerial and ground survey
75,000 ha in the heavily attacked management units
in the central interior
|
To know the extent,
location and age and date of infestation on MPB
affected units. This will provide critical information
to plan reforestation of non-obligation areas.
|
0.52
|
|
Locating and Mapping
9000 - 15,000 ha of small scale salvage initiated
|
To support planning
of silviculture activities. It will also be used
for timber supply analysis.
|
0.25
|
|
Locating and Mapping
110,000 ha of wildfires initiated
|
To support planning
of silviculture activities. It will also be used
for timber supply analysis.
|
0.25
|
|
Planted 348 ha
|
To re-establish stands
burnt by wild fires.
|
0.51
|
|
Reforestation initiated
on 11,000 ha (i.e. surveyed and ordered stock)
|
To improve the long-term
timber supply through the re-establishment of young
forests on land that would otherwise remain under-productive.
|
6.6
|
|
Brushing initiated
on 827 ha of impeded stands.
|
To release non-pine
stands in units most affected by the MPB infestations
to provide mid-term timber supply.
