In 2006, the ministry’s Forest and Range Evaluation Program (FREP) initiated a project to develop methods to evaluate in partial-cut areas the degree to which government’s objectives for timber (as specified in the Forest and Range Practices Act, FRPA) were being met. Methods for both routine and intensive evaluation were developed and then used in a trial evaluation. This report provides the 2006 draft version of the routine and intensive evaluation procedures and presents the results of their application in partial-cut stands in a management unit in south-eastern BC.
