Forest Stewardship Plan
Simpcw Resources Limited’s Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) 882 is a requirement of the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA). The FSP identifies a Forest Development Unit (FDU) within which timber harvesting and road construction activities may occur during the term of the plan. Its purpose is to specify results, strategies, measures, and standards that are consistent to the extent practicable with resource value objectives set by government under FRPA and that fall within the area of the FDU.
