First Nations involvement within PG Timber Supply Area to increase
SHARE ON:
First nations will be playing a much bigger role within the Prince George Timber Supply Area (TSA).
Following a recent appointment by the province, the percentage of the Annual Allowable Cut for Indigenous communities within the TSA goes from the 3.6% mark established in 2012 to a whopping 14.9%.
“Over the past six months, the ministry has engaged with forest companies, local governments, and stakeholders regarding this apportionment,” said Katrine Conroy, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations, and Rural Development in a news release.
“I have considered the interests expressed by those groups as well as the input of First Nations in making this apportionment decision.” ....

Forestry watchdog misses faulty math, calls for updated biodiversity laws

Professional registered forester Judy Thomas said 70 per cent of harvested spruce beetle stands she analyzed had only 10 per cent beetle infestation. There was no need to salvage it, said Thomas, who lodged a complaint with BC s Forest Practices Board. Thomas is pictured here in a Northern B.C. spruce-dominant forest.

Investigation findings by B.C.’s forestry watchdog avoided criticizing government or industry for beetle salvage logging practices, and missed the ‘smoke and mirrors’ math that short-changes old-growth retention targets, but were unequivocal on the need to map old growth forests and modernize biodiversity legal requirements in the Prince George timber area. ....

Watchdog calls for old growth revamp

This creates risks to other forest values, he said.
The FPB is recommending the remaining old growth forest be mapped and that the definition of old growth forest be changed to trees at least 250 years old from the current 140 years.
The board is calling for the Province to update its objectives for old forest in the PG TSA, Kriese said. Updates to the order and identifying important old forest should be undertaken in partnership with Indigenous peoples.
Michelle Connolly of Conservation North said said raising the limit at which a tree is considered old growth will prevent forest companies from retaining trees barely meet the criteria meet their old growth retention targets while still going after the older trees ....

An investigation of a complaint about the management of biodiversity in the Prince George Timber Supply Area (PG TSA) has found that biodiversity, as it relates to old-growth forests, may be at risk in the TSA.
While forest licensees are complying with legal requirements for biodiversity protection in the PG TSA, the investigation identified several concerns with how government and licensees are managing old forests.
“One of the key issues is that the legal requirements have not been reviewed or updated to reflect the impacts of the mountain pine beetle, updated science or society’s changing values,” said Kevin Kriese, chair of the Forest Practices Board, “The PG TSA is also one of the few areas in the province where the amount of old forest legally required to be conserved is not specifically identified on maps but is measured as a ....
