Comments on other ongoing government processes in the Arrowsmith Timber Supply Area are summarized here to indicate perspectives on issues that may influence timber supply in the future.
Forest Renewal B.C.
One submission points out that Forest Renewal B.C. is available to create jobs. It suggests that the proportion of money taken from the Arrowsmith Timber Supply Area for Forest Renewal B.C. should be monitored to ensure that an equal proportion flows back to support jobs in the timber supply area.
Protected Areas Strategy
One submission states that the old-growth or older second-growth Coastal Douglas-fir subzone variants in eastern portions of the timber supply area are under-represented in the Protected Areas Strategy, so the remaining pockets should be protected.
