Golden Timber Supply Area

The Golden TSA is located in southeastern B.C. and comprises about 902 000 hectares.  The town of Golden is the major community within the TSA.

The current AAC for the TSA is 485 000 cubic metres, effective June 1, 2004.  This AAC will remain in effect until a new AAC is determined, which must take place within five years of this determination, unless the re-determination date is formally postponed according to the provisions of Section 8 of the Forest Act.

Current Timber Supply Review

The third timber supply review (TSR 3) was initiated in 2002 and was completed by the Ministry of Forests.  A key component of the TSR is the preparation of a timber supply analysis.  In August 2003, the Golden TSA analysis report and discussion paper were released for public review.  The Chief Forester's rationale for AAC determination was released on May 27, 2004.

A description and full copies of the relevant documents released for the Golden timber supply review can be found on the 'Documents' site.
