The British Columbia Forest Service is reviewing the timber supply in all timber supply areas* and tree farm licence* areas in the province. The objectives of this review are to:
• identify the economic, environmental and social consequences of existing forest management practices—including their impacts on the short- and long-term timber supply
• identify where improved information is required to make reliable forecasts
• provide the chief forester with information to make necessary adjustments to the allowable annual cuts for the next five years.
This discussion paper summarizes the technical reports for the Timber Supply Review in the Kispiox Timber Supply Area and encourages British Columbians to comment on the findings. Public comments will be accepted until October 16, 1996. You will find a response form at the end of this paper to help you provide input.
