FOREST PRACTICES BOARD 1 | 2 | 3

Moving to a Results-Based Regime
The Forest Practices Board focuses on results rather than process so it is well positioned as it continues its independent audit and investigation role under B.C.'s new results-based Forest and Range Practices Act.

Under the new act, forest companies will prepare forest stewardship plans that specify the results they will achieve, and they are accountable for these results. The board's audits and investigations will determine whether the results are achieved, and the board will issue its findings publicly. The board has influenced the development of the new regulatory regime and will continue to play an active role by participating in matters of interpretation such as appeals to the Forest Appeals Commission or the courts.
