The Alberni Valley Community Forest Corporation (AVCFC) invites the public to review and comment on the updated Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) #3.
The Alberni Valley Community Forest is located to the west of the City of Port Alberni in the vicinity of Sproat Lake. The community forest is comprised of two separate operating areas / forest development units (FDU), the Sproat FDU and the Taylor FDU.
The updated FSP is submitted according to the requirements of the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA). It has a five-year term and contains maps of each FDU along with results and strategies designed to meet legislated forest management objectives. The updated FSP contains numerous minor changes to provide clarity and consistency with plans and legislation, and updated reforestation stocking standards for consistency with the current government guidelines.
The public may review the updated FSP and associated maps between Feb. 1st and April 1st at the AVCFC Office, 7500 Airport Rd, Port Alberni. Please call 205 731 7377 to arrange a viewing time. The plan can also be viewed at www.communityforest.ca.
Written comments must be received no later than April 8th and can be sent to Mike Davis RPF, mike@econ.ca, or mailed to the following address:
Alberni Valley Community Forest Corporation, 7500 Airport Rd, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 8Y9
