Closing Letter - Rose Swanson Mountain

July 7, 2021
Natural Resource Region: thompson-okanagan
District: okanagan-shuswap

On March 9, 2021, the Board received a complaint from an Armstrong resident that BC Timber Sales’ (BCTS) 2012-2018 and 2018-2023 Okanagan-Columbia Forest Stewardship Plans (FSP) are not consistent with the 1996 Order to Establish a Sensitive Area and Objectives (Order) for Rose Swanson Mountain.

When BCTS became aware of the significant public concern about its proposed development in the area and that its most recent FSP is not consistent with the Order, it stopped the planned timber sales and began an amendment process that involves extensive consultation.
