As part of the Forest Practices Board’s 2009 compliance audit program, the Board selected five woodlot licences in the Quesnel Forest District (the licences) for audit. This is the audit report for Woodlot Licences W1412 and W1592.

The audit examined each woodlot licensee’s planning, field activities and obligations in the areas of:

• operational planning (including forest development plans, site plans and woodlot licence plans);
• timber harvesting;
• road construction, maintenance and deactivation;
• silviculture activities and obligations; and
• fire protection at active work sites.

All activities, planning and obligations for the period January 1, 2007, to the day of the field audit in June 2009, were included in the scope of the audit.
