Give input on the recommended Whitehorse and Southern Lakes Forest Resources Management Plan
We’re asking Yukoners with an interest in forest management in the Whitehorse and Southern Lakes area to provide their views on the recommended plan. The information we collect will help governments make a decision on the recommended plan.
Find out about the plan
The Whitehorse and Southern Lakes area is located in the headwaters of the Yukon River. It covers 1.49 million hectares and includes public land and First Nations Settlement Land.
The plan was developed by:
- Carcross/Tagish First Nation;
- Kwanlin Dün First Nation;
- Ta’an Kwäch’än Council; and
- Government of Yukon.
The plan:
- identifies values and interests related to the area’s forests; and
- provides a balanced approach for the management and use of these forests.
It guides:
- how and where forest harvesting may occur;
- how forest management will contribute to the local economy; and
- how to address the risk of forest fires in the area.
