Review and Comment: Forest Stewardship Plan 780 – Major Amendment 10, Referral ID 2024-CA-04
Alkali Resource Management (on behalf of Esk’etemc First Nation) with support from Tolko Industries Ltd. are proposing a major amendment to Tolko’s Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) 780. The amendment is proposing to amend approved Forest Development Unit (FDU) 1 to remove area and create a new FDU 2, which includes the area previously part of FDU 1. The new FDU 2 encompasses two existing area-based tenures (K1C and N2K) that are held by Esk’etemc First Nation. The amendment is also proposing to make material changes to some of the FSP results and strategies that would be applicable to FDU 2. Some of the key changes being proposed for the FSP results and strategies within FDU 2 include: Wildlife and Biodiversity – Landscape Level, Seral Stage, Visual Quality and Grassland Habitats.
This amendment is being proposed under the 2019 version of the FSP, which is in the process of being reviewed by government for possible extension or replacement. The intent is that the changes being proposed under this amendment would continue to have effect under an extended or replaced FSP moving forward.
In support of review and comment by parties interested and affected by this FSP amendment, the following documents are available. We look forward to receiving comments from you regarding this amendment and the opportunity to meet and discuss this amendment with you further.
