Regional Initiatives

Okanagan Regional Woodlands

Tree Farm Licence (TFL) 49 Management Plan
The information package for the upcoming TFL 49 timber supply analysis and management plan is currently in a 60 day public review period. If you have any written comments regarding the information package, please provide them to Robert Kennett at the address below prior to July 26, 2010.

Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP)
The approved FSP for Tolko Okanagan Regional Woodlands came into effect on February 28, 2007 for a five year term. The FSP defines the areas within which timber harvesting and road construction activities may occur during the term of the FSP. These activities must be conducted consistent with the results, strategies, measures and standards specified in the FSP. To view the current document and maps follow the links below:

Current FSP and Maps

Several times each year new cutblocks and roads are amended to the approved FSP through the information sharing referral process. These amendments will generally be available for a 60 day review period with notifications sent to applicable Stakeholders and First Nations. During the review period links to maps of the new cutblocks and roads will be posted below on this site. Once each amendment has been completed the new cutblocks and roads will be added to the approved maps above.
