Mar 12, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. An audit of BC Timber Sales and timber sale licensees in the Morice timber supply area portion of the Nadina Resource District found that forest planning, silviculture, fire protection, harvesting and road activities complied with legislation, as the Forest Practices Board said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

“The audit found that BCTS and its timber sale licence holders followed the requirements of the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act,” said board chair, Tim Ryan. “We are pleased to find that BCTS did a good job of meeting legislative requirements.”

During the two-year audit period, BCTS harvested about 667,000 cubic metres of timber, of which two-thirds was pine affected by mountain pine beetles.

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.
