Abstract

The present Regulation is made under the Great Bear Rainforest (Forest Management) Act. In particular, the Regulation brings into force the afore-mentioned Act as of 1 January 2017; creates eight new special forest management areas totalling 263,612 hectares; replaces and reconfigures timber supply areas to align with the Great Bear Rainforest’s geographic boundaries; sets the allowable annual cut for the entire Great Bear Rainforest to 2.5 million cubic metres per year for the next 10 years; and provides the new allowable annual cut for each of the forest licences affected by the legislation. Furthermore, under the Regulations, the North Coast, Mid-Coast, Kingcome and Strathcona timber supply areas are replaced by the new and reconfigured Great Bear Rainforest North, Great Bear Rainforest South and North Island timber supply areas. The changes were necessary so that these timber supply areas align with the boundaries of the Great Bear Rainforest. The text consists of 38 sections divided into 10 Parts.
