Description
Forest company forest management plans (FMPs) detail when, where and how timber on Alberta Crown land will be managed in order to balance social, economic and environmental needs based on input from the public, Indigenous peoples and interest groups. The forest management planning area under consideration is FMA 0100038. The FMP includes the Forest Management Agreement and non-FMA portion of FMU B12, collectively known as the Defined Forest Area (DFA). The DFA is located in southern Alberta primarily within the South Saskatchewan Land-Use Framework planning region. There are approximately two and a half townships of the northern tip of FMU B12 within the North Saskatchewan Land-Use Framework planning region and approximately five sections scattered along the east side of FMU B12 that fall within the Red Deer Land-Use Framework planning region. The DFA falls within the Alpine, Subalpine, Montane, Upper Foothills and Lower Foothills Natural Subregions.
