Council’s Annual Report summarizes: Council activities for the year; statutory reporting requirements including number of managed forests and area in the program; number of inspections; and owner activity including harvesting, road building, and reforestation.

Council has several mechanisms that may be used to ensure compliance with the Private Managed Forest Land Act & Regulations. Compliance mechanisms and decisions are outlined in the compliance section of this website.

In response to the enactment of the Professional Governance Act and changes to the definition of practice of professional forestry, effective Sept 30, 2022 Council requires signature of a forest professional on management commitments and specified amendments.

As part of Council’s responsibility for monitoring and enforcing forest practices standards, an annual inspection program is carried out to assess managed forest owner compliance with the regulatory requirements. 53 inspections are scheduled for 2022.
