Résumé

This Act grants powers to the Conservator of Forests, acting on behalf of the Guyana Forestry Commission, to authorize a person to perform the functions of a forest officer or timber marking inspector for purposes of this Act. No person shall sell any timber advertised as “graded timber“ unless such timber has been graded according to grading rules approved by the Conservator of Forests or sell timber making claims as to moisture content or preservative treatment of timber unless the timber conforms specified standards. Brands to be affixed to timber that has undergone preservative treatment shall be registered with the Conservator of Forests. No person shall export timber except under an export certificate as prescribed and issued by a forest officer of or above the rank of Assistant Conservator of Forest or a timber marketing officer. The Conservator of Forests may assign trade names to timber of any species in accordance with provisions of this Act.
