Abstract

This regulation enacts the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act. Part 1 deals with definitions. Part 2 outlines in detail the permitted use of Crown land in a Provincial forest (described in an agreement under the Range Act or described in a woodlot licence). The regulation sets out uses authorized under the Land Act, under the Wildlife Act, under other enactments, and uses authorized by a Special Use Permit. Part 3 provides for the issue of a special use permit. If a person wishes to (a) use or manage, a portion of Crown land described in an agreement under the Range Act, in a woodlot licence, or in a Provincial forest or wilderness area, and has not been authorized under another, the person may apply in writing to the district manager for a special use permit. Such a permit, does not give exclusive rights to the use of the land, (section 11).
