Abstract

Regulations respecting the cutting and removal of timber. These Regulations apply in respect of the cutting and removal of timber on lands referred to in section 5 of the Forestry Act. No person, except if he is an employee of the Government of Canada, shall cut and remove timber in a forest area except under the authority of a permit issued by a forestry officer pursuant to section 7 of the Act or an agreement entered into with the Minister under section 14. Where the forestry officer issueing the permit includes terms or conditions in a permit or gives instructions for the protection of the forest area, those conditions or instructions shall be to encourage regeneration and reforestation, to avoid damage to vegetation or to the timber that is not covered by the permit, and to avoid damage to the cutting and removal site and any animal habitats (reg. 8). Where a permit holder cuts and removes timber in excess of the amount set out in the permit, the permit holder shall pay to the Receiver General fees calculated by a forestry officer pursuant to section 6. The Minister may, after making a public call for tenders, enter into an agreement for the cutting and removal of timber in a forest area with individuals or corporations.
