NOTE: Funds for the maintenance of forest access roads are provided by the Lands 

 and Surveys Branch. 



To date all expenditures made on road construction under the terms of the Capital 

 Road Fund have been paid back to the Fund from additional stumpage charges collected 

 from the forest operators using these roads. 



Silvicultural Operations 



The securing or establishing of regeneration on cutovers and burned areas, as 

 well as improving the quality of existing stands, is the main task of this unit. 



The available information, based on surveys carried out recently, indicates a 

 requirement for an annual regeneration programme of approximately 225,000 

 acres.
