Timber harvest plans help ensure the sustainable use of forests. These plans cover landscape units ranging from 5,000 hectares to around 300,000 hectares. These identify:
- areas proposed for forest resource harvesting;
- where and how timber will be removed; and
- strategies for minimizing or removing negative environmental impacts on other natural resources.
