Public forest lands in British Columbia provide recreational enjoyment, fish and wildlife habitat, visual quality, water supplies, timber and range resources and many other benefits. The Forest Service manages the timber, range and recreation resources on public lands. The Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks is responsible for the management of parks, 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 management practices implemented in the Kispiox Timber Supply Area in late 1995, when this analysis was initiated. Readers are encouraged to review the Kispiox Timber Supply Analysis Report, 1996 (pages 13-15 and Appendix A) for more detailed information.
