MANAGEMENT PLANNING UNIT 



The development of forest areas is based on management 

 plans that provide detailed information about the volume 

 of annual cut, cutting methods, regeneration treatments, 

 road and camp locations, and other facts essential to orderly 

 management. 



Standard management plans are based on inventory data 

 gathered using photo interpretation, point sampling, and 

 computer compilation methods. The information is entered 

 in stand ledgers, which also serve as a record of changes. 

 Standard plans have been prepared following the re-inven- 

 tory of Crown management units started in 1958. The essen- 

 tials of this type of planning are contained in the Manual of 

 Management Plan Requirements. 



The initial management plans, based on the inventory 

 method used prior to 1958, are retained until replaced with 

 standard plans, and form the basis for the management of a 

 large proportion of the Crown management units in the 

 Province. 



Management plans form a framework into which operat- 

 ing plans are fitted. An operating plan shows in detail the 

 stands to be cut, regenerated, and tended, and the roads to 

 be built and other improvements to be made to carry out 

 operations on the management units. 



1. Crown Management Units. The plans for these units are 

 prepared by Department staff. There are 79 Crown manage- 

 ment units comprising an area of 94,644 square miles with 

 70 management plans: 



27 standard management plans in force . . . 18,537 sq. mi. 

 13 plans being processed for Ministerial 



approval 9,255 sq. mi. 



30 initial management or operating plans 



in force 59,797 sq. mi. 



9 management units not under plans 7,055 sq. mi. 



2. Company Management Units. The Management plans 

 for Company Management Units are prepared by the licen- 

 sees. There are 57 company units with 93,613 square miles 

 under licence to 38 companies. The status of management 

 planning for these units are as follows: 



50 approved management plans 85,792 sq. mi. 



4 plans being processed for Ministerial 



approval 2,734 sq. mi. 



3 plans being revised or prepared 5,087 sq. mi. 



3. Agreement Forest Units. The management plans for these 

 units are prepared by Department staff. There are 60 units 

 covering approximately 360 square miles (or 230,352 acres) 

 with 60 management plans. The status of management 

 planning is as follows: 



18 approved plans 80,751 acres 



13 plans being processed for approval 32,252 acres 



12 plans in process of preparation 45,074 acres 



17 units on annual plans and land acquired 



since 1960 to 1962 inventory 72,275 acres 



ACCESS ROADS 



A total of 105.6 miles of new roads was constructed, and 

 106.7 miles of existing roads were improved during the 

 fiscal year. Road work was carried out under two categories. 



1. Logging Access Roads are primarily designed for the 

 extraction of timber products. The costs of the road are re- 

 covered over a five-year period through an increase in 

 stumpage rates on the timber which has been made acces- 

 sible. Some 16.4 miles of new roads were built, and 9.3 

 miles were improved.
