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 9000028 allocated to West Fraser Mills Ltd. (Slave Lake), (formerly known as Slave Lake Pulp Corporation). The FMP covers Forest Management Unit (FMU) S20 in north central Alberta. It is located almost entirely within the Upper Athabasca Land-Use Framework planning region. There is a small area in the southwest corner of FMU S20 that falls within the Upper Peace Land-use Framework planning region. It falls within the Upper Foothills, Lower Foothills, Central Mixedwood and Dry Mixedwood Natural Subregions

Usage Considerations

Forest management plans (FMPs) are a requirement of all forest management agreements negotiated between the Government of Alberta and forest companies. The Government of Alberta appraises and approves FMPs based on the Alberta Forest Management Planning Standard. FMPs focus on how activities (i.e., establishing, growing and harvesting timber) of FMA holders and other tenure holders will be managed in order to reduce negative impacts on other resource users and resource values. This is accomplished by managing the forest management activities to create a desirable future forest. FMPs also provide direction to forest operations and include specific areas identified for reforestation and harvesting activities.
