Since April, 1993, a Land and Resource Management Planning process has been underway in the Robson Valley Timber Supply Area. This process provides an opportunity for the public and interest groups to work with government agencies to make choices about future management of public forest lands in the area. The Land and Resource Management Plan Round Table is addressing key issues identified in the Timber Supply Review. This will lead to recommendations on new resource management objectives and strategies that balance social, economic and environmental values. Once these recommendations are approved by government, current forest management practices will be changed to be consistent with these objectives. The timber supply impacts of these practices will be incorporated in the next allowable annual cut determination.
The Land and Resource Management Plan Round Table will recommend land-use designations consistent with the Protected Areas Strategy. Three areas of interest within the Robson Valley Timber Supply Area are under consideration for protected status.
