Complaint Investigation – IRC/196
June 2015

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Government should ensure that the meaning of the term “old forest” is sufficiently clear to fit with the ecological conditions present in the SCCO area and to align with the intent of EBM.
2. Government should ensure that the definitions for red- and blue-listed plant communities are clear for the SCCO area and that effective guidance for identification of these plant communities is available.
3. TimberWest should provide the Board with information on how it will interpret the SCCO definition of old forest when conducting forest operations within the SCCO area.
