Inspections

In 2009, the Council carried out a site inspection program to assess owners’ performance in managing their forest properties with respect to the management commitments and legislation, and to assess owners' knowledge of private managed forest regulations, specifically, the Private Managed Forest Land Council Regulation. A range of large to small properties was selected from managed forests on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, central interior, Kamloops area, and West Kootenays.
