Abstract

The present Regulations enact the Forests Act. The Regulations require certain forestry companies, based on their annual volume of wood acquired, to undertake annual silviculture work on private land (“private land” means all lands excluding Crown land). Companies can meet the requirement of these Regulations by carrying out a silviculture programme on private lands, by contributing money to a special fund, or some combination of both.
