Follow-up Activities

The information presented below contains the responses to challenges and questions  raised by participants during the Post-FSP workshop (March 7-8, 2007).  For each challenge , organized by general topic area,  raised  by participants at the workshop, a response is provided based on consultation with applicable subject area specialists along with input and feedback from the Provincial FRPA Implementation Team (PFIT) members.

Personnel who are preparing to implement their first FSP can review this information to take advantage of the experience and advice of experts and others who have been through the process before. Some aspects of this information may evolve over time as we build our experience in working under approved FSPs. We encourage you to visit this site on a regular basis to obtain the latest information and advice.

This information and advice has also been incorporated into Volume II "Operating under an approved FSP" of the Administrative Guide to Forest Stewardship Plans (AGFSP).
