Abstract

Regulations respecting the cutting and removal of timber in the Gros Morne forest experimental area. No person shall cut timber in or remove timber from the Gros Morne Forest Experimental Area except under the authority of a permit and in accordance with the terms and conditions of that permit (reg. 4). Conditions for a permit are set out in regulation 5. Permits shall be granted only to eligible residents. The forestry officer who issues a permit may specify in the permit the terms and conditions of the permit under regulation 6. No holder of a permit shall transfer or assign his permit. Regulation 10 places restrictions on timber cutting. No holder of a permit shall remove from the location specified in his permit any quantity of timber until that timber has been scaled and inspected by a forestry officer. No holder of a permit shall unreasonably or unnecessarily damage young timber during cutting and removal operations or along access routes to the designated area to which his permit applies. Further requirements regarding timber logging in the area are set out in regulation 14.
