Closing Letter - Colocation: Tree Farm Licence 44

July 7, 2021
Natural Resource Region: west-coast
District: north-island-central-coast

Colocation is the practice of overlapping wildlife tree retention in cutblocks with adjacent wildlife habitat areas or other areas reserved from harvest.

On March 29, 2021, the Forest Practices Board received a complaint from Joan Rosenberg about colocation within Tree Farm Licence (TFL) 44 near Port Alberni. Although the complainant was satisfied with the licensees' stewardship practices regarding colocation in TFL 44, she remains concerned about the practice elsewhere in the province and government guidance that encourages it.
