MFC 2021-2022 Annual Report

As an independent agency established by the Provincial Government, each year the Managed Forest Council must submit an annual report to the Minister of Forests. Council has now submitted its 2021-22 Annual Report.

In 2021-2022, there were 281 private managed forests in British Columbia, encompassing 805,000 hectares.  These properties are located primarily on Vancouver Island, the southern mainland Coast, and in the Kootenays and Okanagan- Shuswap regions.

Council activities in 2021-22 included: worked with the Ministry on the provincial Managed Forest Review; participated as a delegate at the 2021 ABCFP & UBCM virtual conventions; and conducted 62 managed forest inspections to assess compliance with the Council Regulation. 

4.5 million cubic metres of timber were harvested on managed forest land, representing approximately 8% of the total provincial harvest.  There were no non-compliance determinations made with respect to forest practices on private managed forest land.  Managed forest owners continue to restock and successfully regenerate harvested areas consistent with and often exceeding requirements of the Council Regulation.

The Annual Report summarizes:

  • Council’s activities for the year, including how well it achieved its objective and performed its duties under the Private Managed Forest Land Act
  • statutory reporting requirements including information about the number of managed forests, area in the program, and number of inspections, and
  • owner activity including harvesting, road building, and reforestation, along with comparisons to previous years
