Forest Management Planning
The Government of British Columbia grants rights and outlines conditions for forest management responsibilities on public lands through forest tenures, forest stewardship plans (FSPs) and cutting permits (CPs).
West Fraser operates under both volume-based (timber supply areas) and area-based (tree farm licences) tenures, preparing planning documents as required by the Forest Act and the Forest and Range Practices Act. These plans are made available for public review and input during their development.

Forest Stewardship Plans (FSPs) are completed every five years and can be renewed for additional terms. These landscape-level plans outline how objectives and values will be managed in forest development activities within the plan area. We are required to have government-approved FSPs in effect before harvesting or road-building activities can begin.
The plans identify how we will meet the government's objectives for addressing values related to soil, water, fish, wildlife, biodiversity, cultural heritage, timber, forage, recreation, resource features and visual quality.

Recent amendments to the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) require forest stewardship plan holders to make a forest operations map (FOM) available for public review and comment.
West Fraser utilizes the Ministry of Forests' FOM online portal to make its FOMs available for public review and comment during the timeframes specified by government.
