FOREST AND RANGE PRACTICES ACT
Forest companies must develop plans that describe strategies they will use and the results they will get.

This plan must:

  • Conserve the full range of forest values, including fish and wildlife habitat, biodiversity, old-growth retention, soil, water quality and streams, recreation, scenic and spiritual values.

  • Address the particular values of each site.

  • Be consistent with local land use plans.

  • Be available for public comment.
Advantages of the Forest and Range Practices Act:
  • Forest companies are legally held accountable for the results.

  • Reduces administrative requirements, encourages efficiency and innovation, and allows greater flexibility to address certification and local interests.
