Complaint Investigation – IRC/145
September 2008
RECOMMENDATION
The Ministry of Forests and Range should consider removing the December 2006 policy on salvage permits for woodlots, or amending it so that it is consistent with the administrative practices within forest districts. Whichever process is chosen for the administration of blanket salvage permits, it should provide woodlot licensees with as much flexibility as is reasonable to adequately address forest health issues as they arise in the long term.
