Forest Practices Board reviewed 13 cutblocks harvested between January 2020 and September 2023
An audit of Nak'al Koh Timber Ltd. has found that its forestry planning and practices in the Mackenzie timber supply area generally complied with the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act.
Auditors from the Forest Practices Board reviewed 13 cutblocks harvested by Nak'al Koh between January 2020 and September 2023 under non-replaceable forest licence A89836. The audit examined operational planning, timber harvesting, road and bridge construction and maintenance, silviculture, and wildfire protection.
"Nak'al Koh has a plan to monitor and address performance issues in its plantations. It also submitted planting reports for the three cutblocks before the audit period concluded," said Keith Atkinson, chair of the Forest Practices Board, in the announcement of the board's findings. "While the board identified fire hazard assessments as an area needing improvement, there were no concerns regarding Nak'al Koh's fire hazard abatement practices," Atkinson said. "The company effectively reduced fire hazards in all 11 cutblocks that were abated during the audit period."
