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.
