Forest Management Planning 



The revision of management plans for Crown units has followed closely the 

 reinventory of Crown lands, now in progress. 



Within 1 8 months of the completion of the reinventory of a management unit, 

 the revised management plan is prepared by the district staff. The plan is drawn 

 for a 20-year period and will be revised at 20-year intervals thereafter, on the 

 basis of rephotography and a new forest inventory at that time and on experience 

 gained in the past periods. The basic planning considers management objectives 

 and the means of their attainment over a period of one hundred years, more or less. 

 This planning is based on such considerations as the arrangement of species and 

 age-classes on the productive forest land, a permanent road network, division of 

 the forest into accessible compartments, the rotations of the working groups, etc. 

 This planning constitutes a framework into which 10-year operating plans are fitted 

 as time passes. An operating plan shows, in detail, the stands to be cut, regenerated, 

 and tended, the roads to be built, and the improvements to be made. 



This type of planning is standard for Crown management units and Agreement 

 Forests* for which plans are prepared by Department staff. The main essentials of 

 planning are contained in the Manual of Management Plan Requirements, as a 

 guide for the staffs of the larger licensees in the preparation of management plans 

 for Company management units. 



There are 216 management units in the Province, each operating under a 

 plan of its own. This number is subject to change from year to year due to aban- 

 donment and acquisition of licences, and to division and consolidation of manage- 

 ment units at the time of plan revision.
