Since 1995 when the data was prepared for the timber supply analysis, Forest Service staff have been collecting more information for some of the factors in the analysis. Also, tests completed during the timber supply analysis identified which factors had the greatest effect on the timber supply forecasts. These critical factors are discussed in this section. Other factors were tested and are discussed in the Kispiox Timber Supply Analysis Report (pages 24 to 38) but were not considered critical to this review and therefore are not included in this discussion paper.

The chief forester must carefully evaluate this information when assessing the allowable annual cut and identifying where improved information is needed. We encourage you to do the same. |
