Wayne Biggs, M. Sc., P. Ag., R.P. Bio.
Dianne Liddell, B.A.

In particular, the word processing skills and determination displayed by Christine Scholefield in taking somewhat disparate computer files from the various authors and melding them into a complete document are appreciated.

The participation and attention to detail by the numerous study contacts in the various jurisdictions surveyed is also gratefully acknowledged. In addition, the assistance of the B.C. Forest Practices Code Technical Subcommittee, and in particular Marty Osberg (Chair), in reviewing the document and providing helpful suggestions in the interpretation of the B.C.
