Public forest lands in British Columbia provide recreational enjoyment, fish and wildlife habitat, water supplies, timber resources and many other benefits. The Forest Service manages the forest, range and recreation resources on public lands. BC Environment is responsible for the management of fish, wildlife and water resources. Both agencies subscribe to the principle of integrated resource management, where all resources are considered before management decisions are made.
The timber supply analysis was based on current management practices—practices that were actually being approved and implemented in the Kalum-South area in 1993, when this analysis was initiated. Changes in practices resulting from initiatives such as the Protected Areas Strategy and Land and Resource Management Plans will be addressed in the next reassessment of the timber supply.
Readers are encouraged to review the Kalum South Timber Supply Analysis Report (Pages 13-16 and Appendix A) for more detailed information.
