An audit of over 1,200 kilometres of wilderness roads in the Okanagan-Shuswap Natural Resource District has found the road and bridges are being maintained appropriately.
The district managers’ obligations to maintain forest service roads (FSRs) in the region is required by the Forest and Range Practices Act.
The government, through the district manager, must maintain roads that are not being kept up by forest companies or BC Timber Sales.
Wilderness roads are roads not being used for industrial purposes. On these wilderness FSRs, the district manager is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the roads and ensuring the roads’ drainage systems are functional.
