Auditors will look at three grazing licences and one hay-cutting licence for compliance with the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA). In addition, Kenkeknem Forest Tenures Ltd.’s woodland licence will be audited for operational planning, harvesting, roads, silviculture and protection practices under FRPA and the Wildfire Act.
Kenkeknem’s licence is one of only two First Nations woodland licences in the province, and is the first such licence audited by the board.
The audit area is located about 30 kilometres northeast of 100 Mile House, with Canim Lake to the north and Buffalo Creek to the south.
The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.
