New allowable annual cut (AAC) levels for the Timber Supply Area 25 and Tree Farm licenses 58 and 60 have been set on Haida Gwaii.
The new AAC for the Supply Area is 398,000 cubic metres. The new AACs for Tree Farm 58 and 60 are 99,000 cubic metres and 279,000 cubic metres, respectively. These new levels account for increased preservation of goshawk habitat and include partitions for cedar, which will ensure cedar harvest rates align with requirements for the protection of cedar for Indigenous cultural use.
The previous levels were set in 2012. Under the Forest Act, the Chief Forester must determine the AAC in each of the province’s 37 timber supply areas and 34 tree farm licence’s at least once every 10 years.
