SUMMARY REPORT: Forest development plan public review and bark beetle management

May 1, 1996
Natural Resource Region: cariboo
District: cariboo-chilcotin

The Board received a complaint from a member of the public concerning an amendment to a licensee's Five Year Forest Development Plan. The complaint asserted that:

  • a licensee amended its forest development plan for a forest licence without providing adequate time for public review and comment.
  • a licensee was not practicing healthy forest management, in relation to a bark beetle infestation.

The complainant asserted that the licensee failed to take the opportunity to selectively log the area covered by the plan in 1994, and now proposes to clear-cut the area.

The Board conducts its work throughout British Columbia, and we respectfully acknowledge the territories of the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial.
