Figure 2. Classification of land on British Columbia timber supply areas, 1996.

source: Timber Supply Review reports 1992-1996

notes: Non-productive area includes rock, ice, lakes, brush, and alpine areas not suitable for commercial timber production.

Productive forest land denotes productivity with respect to timber only.

This chart does not include tree farm licences. While these industry-managed forest tenures may have a higher proportion of timber harvesting land base, it is anticipated that management on the timber harvesting land base will be similar to that found in timber supply areas because both areas are managed under the same statutes and policies.
