Abstract

The 43 sections of the Act are divided into 5 Parts: Part I looks at administration. Here the Minister, with respect to crown timber, shall regulate and administer resources concerning all matters relating to forestry, under the establishment of the "Forestry Branch". The Lieutenant Governor in Council, may, on behalf of the government, enter into an agreement with the Government of Canada, municipality or the owner or licensee of a forest, for the licence protection, development or utilization, for resources, including protection from fire, insects, and diseases, for forest inventories, silvicultural research, watershed protection, reforestation, forestry publicity, and education, and, in respect of the construction of roads and improvement of streams, growing conditions and management of crown forest land. Part II deals with timber cutting rights including forest management licences, timber sales and timber permits. Part III outlines the provincial forests prohibitions. It states that in order to reserve certain areas in the province for a perpetual growth of timber, and to ensure a reasonable use of all the resources that the forest lands contain, all crown lands within a provincial forest are not to be disposed of, sold, or occupied, except under authority of this Act. Part IV highlights prohibitions, and contains provisions relating to enforcement, offences and penalties. Part V entitled general contains provisions relating to Regulations, the Consolidated Fund and reports by the Minister.
