The Okanagan TSA is located in south-central British Columbia and covers approximately 2.25 million hectares of the Thompson/Okanagan Region. The TSA stretches from the Seymour River/Shuswap Lake in the north to the Canada-United States border in the south, and from the Monashee Mountains in the east to the Okanagan Mountains in the west.
The TSA includes the communities of Penticton, Vernon, Kelowna and Salmon Arm.
The Okanagan timber supply area is administered by the Okanagan Shuswap District, located in Vernon, with field offices in Penticton and Salmon Arm.
Current Timber Supply Review (TSR)
The current allowable annual cut (AAC) for the Okanagan TSA is 3,375,000 cubic metres, effective January 1, 2006. This AAC will remain in effect until a new AAC is determined, which must take place within 10 years of the date of the present determination, unless the re–determination date is formally postponed according to the provisions of Section 8 of the Forest Act.
Public input is a vital part of the timber supply review process.
