The provincial government is accepting comments for the next two months on the future of the Okanagan Timber Supply Area.
The discussion paper provides the results of the timber supply analysis. It also describes the geography, natural resources and current forest management practices in the Okanagan Timber Supply Area, all of which will be used by the chief forester in the allowable annual cut (AAC) determination.
Feedback from Indigenous peoples and the public will also be considered by the chief forester before setting the new allowable annual cut.
The Okanagan Timber Supply Area covers nearly 2.4 million hectares in the south-central region of the province, with 760,781 hectares available for timber harvesting.
