Review of Fort St. John Pilot Project

The following review of the Draft Fort St. John Pilot Project was prepared on behalf of the Forest Caucus of the BC Environmental Network by Jessica Clogg, staff counsel at West Coast Environmental Law, and Laurel Brewster, forestry advisor at the Sierra Legal Defence Fund.

Our review focused primarily on assessing the draft pilot regulation for compliance with Part 10.1 of the Forest Practices Code; however, in some cases we have also provided our perspective as to the public acceptability of the pilot. In our opinion, at the present time the pilot project does not meet the requirements of Part 10.1 of the Forest Practices Code.
