Access management plans
Quill Creek Granite Operating Unit Access Management Plan
Approximately 9 km of new forestry winter roads will be constructed in early 2025. The primary use of these roads will be to provide access to fuelwood harvesting in the Granite operating unit of the Quill Creek Timber Harvest Plan. This will involve the cutting and removal of dead trees. Once harvest operations are complete, new forestry roads will be decommissioned.

Timber harvest plans
Quill Creek Auriol Operating Unit Timber Harvest Plan
There are approximately 12.8 kilometres of new winter forest resources roads to be constructed in the summer of 2026. Most of these are within timber harvest permit areas. The primary use of these roads is to provide access for fuelwood harvesting in the Auriol operating unit of the Quill Creek Timber Harvest Plan (THP). Harvest activities will involve the cutting and removal of dead trees.

BR Timber Harvest Plan
The BR Timber Harvest Plan is an operator-led plan submission that covers approximately 180 hectares located south of the Yukon River and about 5 km west of Marsh Lake. It supports the continuation of small-scale, selective timber harvesting by a local operator over a 10-year period. The proposed harvest volume is approximately 692 metres cubed of sawlogs and incidental fuelwood from three harvest blocks. No new forest resources roads are proposed, as access will continue to use existing skid trails, ATVs and a small skidder. Harvest activities will focus on removing selected mature trees while maintaining high levels of forest retention, reducing fuel loads near residential properties and minimizing impacts to wildlife, heritage resources and other environmental values

Silviculture plans
A silviculture plan describes activities to:
- manage a forest ecosystem; and
- meet socio-economic goals within that forest.
There are no plans for review at this time.
