Introduction

Forest Investment Account funding recipients interested in undertaking Recreation and Visual Resources projects are required under their recipient agreement with PricewaterhouseCoopers to adhere to RISC standards or Best Practices standards established by government. The table below provides on-line access to those standards.

Also included in the table is access to other related documents including strategies, best management practices and guidelines as well as reports that the user may reference as they develop their project.

In the event a recipient desires to vary from the standards a request must be submitted to PricewaterhouseCoopers who will then forward that request for approval of the variance.
