Invitation to review and provide comment on the Kitwancool Cranberry Forest Products and Kitwancool Nass Forest Products Forest Stewardship Plan
Kitwancool Cranberry Forest Products, holder of Forest License A88973 and A88974, and Kitwancool Nass Forest Products, holder of Forest License A96100 and FNWL N3A, are seeking a five-year replacement of its Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) in the Kispiox and the Nass Timber Supply Areas. The FSP is designed to direct development related to primary forest activities for cut blocks and roads that will be managed under this plan within three planned areas of interest (Forest Development Units or FDUs), FDU A, FDU B, and the Nass South FDU.
The FSP describes the general location of operations and the strategies and results that will be applied in these areas to ensure consistency with the objectives for critical forest values. The objectives are derived from the Forest and Range Practices Act, its associated regulations, the Cranberry Land Use Order, and the Nass South Sustainable Resource Management Plan. The term of the FSP will be five years.
The FSPs will be available for review and comment from April 25, 2024, to June 25, 2024, at the following locations:
Terrace Public Library
4610 Park Avenue, Terrace BC
Northern Lights College
Lot 10 Commercial Drive, Dease Lake BC
