Abstract

This Act, consisting of 11 sections completed by one Schedule, aims to define certain aspects of forestry rights. "Forestry right" in this Act means a right granted by the owner of any land to any other person to: (a) establish, maintain and harvest; or (b) maintain and harvest crop of trees on that land, together with any ancillary rights and works; and (d) any provisions for charges, payments, royalties or division of the crop or the proceeds of the crop. Every forestry right over any land may be registered under the Land Titles Act 1980 or the Registration of Deeds Act 1935 against the title of the estate of the owner of the land. A forestry right shall, notwithstanding any rule of law or equity to the contrary, be deemed to be a "profit agrave; prendre" but shall not confer a right of exclusive possession of the land to which it relates. A forestry covenant relating to land shall, unless a contrary intention is expressed in the forestry right to which that land is subject or in any variation of that right, be binding on the assignees and personal representatives of the covenantor and on all successors in title of the covenantor to the land. Section 8 defines plan requirements for the registration of rights. (11 sections)
