Sep 12, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. The Forest Practices Board will examine the forest activities of Ka-Bar Resources Ltd., along the Princeton-Summerland Road near Osprey Lake, on September 16. Auditors will examine planning, timber harvesting, road construction and maintenance, silviculture and fire prevention practices, carried out by Ka-Bar Resources Ltd. under six forest licences to cut, for compliance with the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act, as the Forest Practices Board said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The harvesting work has mostly been to salvage beetle-killed pine, but was also aimed at protecting the community from wildfire by reducing forest fuel hazards created by the dead trees.

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.
