The province is looking for feedback from Lakes District residents on a new forest landscape plan and Land Use Objectives Regulation amendments.
The plan was originally announced in 2021 along side three other pilots after the 2018 wildfire season.
“This is a major step forward for the project, bringing us closer to a plan that protects communities, strengthens the local economy, and creates a healthier ecosystem,” said Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests.
Areas the plan would provide direction on include:
- Cultural well-being
- Landscape ecosystem health and resilience
- Wildfire resilience
- Aqatics, wetlands and riparian habitat
- Wildlife Habitat
- Visual quality
- Range
- Soil
- Timber and harvesting levels
“This is an important chance for residents to have a say in the stewardship of public lands around their communities, and we welcome your input,” said Randene Neill, Minister of Water, Land, and Resource Stewardship.
The survey follows a similar questionnaire that closed at the end of January this year.
More information about the project and the survey can be found here and will be open until July 31.
