The Forest Practices Board will examine the activities of 0866740 B.C. Ltd., held by Aspen Planers Ltd., on forest licence A18700 during the week of October 30 to November 3, 2017. Originally scheduled for early July, the audit was postponed due to the forest fire situation at that time, as the Forest Practices Board said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Auditors will examine whether harvesting, roads, silviculture, fire protection and associated planning, carried out between July 2015 and October 2017, met the requirements of the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act.
0866740 B.C. Ltd. is in the Cascades Natural Resource District. The area of the audit is located west of Lillooet and includes Carpenter Lake and the Bridge River. Some of the nearby communities are Bralorne and Gold Bridge.
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.
The board audits forest and range practices on public land, as well as appropriateness of government enforcement.
