A Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) amendment is being prepared for the areas managed under Tree Farm License (TFL) 1 and Forest Licence (FL) A16835, held by Coast Tsimshian Resource Limited Partnership, for operations within the Coast Mountains Natural Resource District. The area covered by this FSP includes all TFL 1 and portions of the Kalum Timber Supply Area from Lakelse Lake in the south to the Nass Valley in the north.
The FSP Amendment involves the addition of cultural burning strategies (reference # CTR24-01) in response to Gitanyow’s intent to resume cultural burning within their territory. In summary, the strategy states that a cultural burn may be conducted upon completion of harvesting and waste assessments and before reforestation. A burn plan will be developed with and endorsed by an Elder and/or Fire Knowledge Keeper. Copies of these burn plans can be requested. Fire Management Stocking Standards may be used on sites subject to cultural burning. Cultural burns will also be registered with the Province of BC’s Wildfire Service.
Your review and response to this amendment is requested by September 5th, 2024. The FSP and supporting document is available here: https://www.westlandresources.ca/recentpublicationsctr, or can be made available upon request. Please submit your inquiries and responses by email to
