Forest Management Five-year Operating Plans
The Forestry Act (1990) mandates the Forest Service of Newfoundland and Labrador to manage the forest resources of the province. Five-year operating plans outline on 1:50,000 scale maps where forest management activities (e.g. timber harvesting, planting, thinning and road construction) are proposed. It is at this level that strategies and policies within the 10-year Provincial Sustainable Forest Management Strategy (PSFMS) are applied.
Forest Management Districts
In Newfoundland and Labrador, forest management planning occurs on a district by district basis and is scheduled on a five-year cycle. The province is divided into 24 management districts with 18 in Newfoundland and six in Labrador. To facilitate planning, some districts are combined into zones.
