Description
The details of where, when and how trees on Crown land in Alberta are harvested and managed for sustainability are contained in forest management plans approved by the Government of Alberta, with input from the public and other stakeholders. Forest management plans prepared by industry are a requirement of Forest management agreements negotiated between the Government of Alberta and forest companies. Forest management plans provide for sustainable management of forest resources. The operational components of these plans are prepared for a 10-year term and show the extent and size of the forest management area they cover, specific stands identified for harvest in the next 10 years, and intended reforestation treatments to be implemented. This forest management plan covers FMA 9700034, allocated to Millar Western Forest Products and located in central Alberta. The area is located within the Upper Peace and Upper Athabasca Land-Use Framework planning regions.
