Forest Management. The State has a well-established Forest Management System. As part of the Forest Management System, the State agrees to encourage its public Forest managers to maintain Environmental Management Systems equivalent to systems meeting the requirements of ISO 14001.
Forest Management. This attachment outlines the key purposes of a Forest Management Plan (FMP) which are required to be prepared or updated as necessary in accordance with this Agreement. The attachment also outlines some particular issues that will need to be addressed in the development or updating of plans in the Xxxx Xxxxxxxx RFA region.
Forest Management. The Nisga’a Final Agreement stipulates that Nisga’a forestry practices must meet or exceed standards established under provincial forestry practices legislation for Crown land. Nisga’a Lisims Government is committed to meeting this requirement while providing consistent, sustain- able employment for forestry workers. The treaty provides for a five-year transition of the control of timber harvesting and management on Nisga’a Lands from British Columbia to NLG. During the transition, B.C., under provincial forestry legislation, licenses the harvest of an annual volume of timber to forest companies who held licences prior to the treaty’s effective date. While these licences are issued by B.C., both the Province and NLG, through the Forestry Transition Committee, have a shared responsibili- ty in the administration of the licences. At the end of the transition period, in 2005, the Nisga’a Nation will have full control of Nisga’a timber. Under the transition arrangement, forest licensees must harvest specified volumes of timber each year and a percentage of the volume must be con- tracted to Nisga’a citizens to harvest. In the second year of the treaty, the target of 70 percent Nisga’a contractors was exceeded. During the reporting period, a total of 74,469 cubic metres of wood was harvested under the transition licences, much of it by community- owned Laxgalt’sap Forest Corporation which employs 30 people. To support operations, 9.6 kilometres of logging road were constructed dur- ing the reporting period. Continuing volatility in North American lumber markets has underscored the need for long-range planning. That’s why Nisga’a operators are making significant capital investments to ensure they are well positioned to meet increasing demands as markets recover. The Forestry Transition Committee, comprised of one person each from NLG and B.C., has authority to approve forest development plans throughout the five-year transition period. The committee approves silviculture plans and issues all cutting and road permits in the latter years of the transition period. During the reporting period, the committee received a proposed Forest Development Plan from Skeena Cellulose Inc. (SCI), the major licensee on Nisga’a Lands. The plan was sent to the Joint Fisheries Management Committee and Nass Wildlife Committee for review and comment, made available for public consultation, and ulti- mately approved. In 2001, British Columbia transferred quarterly Same Economic Positio...
Forest Management. Harvesting and management of timber by Grantor is limited to the extent necessary to protect the natural environment in areas where the forest is damaged by natural forces such as fire, flood, storm, insects or infectious organisms or is otherwise required by sound management practices. Such timber harvest and management shall be carried out in accordance with Best Management Practices approved by the Alabama Forestry Commission or successor agency, as amended.
Forest Management. Supporting forest management planning and forest protection in national, municipal, communal and private lands, and forest management in national lands, through:
(a) forest protection interventions (forest fire planning, prevention and control, watershed management planning and implementation, and forest pest management and control);
(b) the carrying out of an environmental impact assessment and development of forest protection plans for forest management units or Municipalities, as necessary;
(c) the provision of institutional assistance to AFE-COHDEFOR to transfer the knowledge and capacity required to adopt, sustain and replicate on other national lands forest management methodologies and practices and to modernize the CIEF;
(d) the development of management plans in forest management units that lack them and to update existing management plans in other forest management units;
(e) the carrying out of community and municipal consultations, informal training and dissemination of materials to ensure local participation and inputs into the forest management planning and implementation processes and to enhance transparency;
(f) the carrying out of silvicultural and other forest management activities identified in forest management plans in national forest lands, including site preparation, forest regeneration, thinning, controlled burning, nurserying of forest trees and forest road rehabilitation; and
(g) the carrying out of a rural youth pilot project to educate rural youth and involve them in forest conservation activities.
Forest Management. The right to xxxx and shoot is subject to any rights that the LESSOR(s) may care to exercise over the land. LESSEE acknowledges that LESSOR(s) are in the timber growing business and timber cutting, planting or other forestry or land management practices may be conducted at any time of the year. Forest and land management activities will take precedence over hunting activities. Notification of any forestry or land management activities will be posted on the club sign in board.
Forest Management. Grantor’s reserved right to use the Property for commercial and noncommercial forestry includes timber management, silvicultural activities, timber harvesting,
Forest Management. Trees may be cut to control insects, disease and invasive species, to enhance wildlife habitat, to prevent personal injury and property damage, and for other domestic uses, including firewood and construction of permitted buildings and fences on the Property. The application of pesticide and fertilizer shall be prohibited unless: (i) such use is necessary for forest management; and (ii) such use is in compliance with an approved Forest Management Plan for the Property; and (iii) Grantee has approved such use; and (iv) such use is consistent with the terms of this Easement. Any and all Commercial Forestry activities shall require a Forest Management Plan and a Forest Harvest Plan, approved by WAC or its successor pursuant to Section 14 of this Easement, submitted at Grantor’s sole cost, and consistent with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection s Water Quality Guidelines for Timber Harvesting or such successor standard approved by Grantee. In the event that Grantor submits a Forest Management Plan and/or a Forest Harvest Plan to Grantee for approval, and Grantee (or its successor pursuant to Section 14 of this Easement) notifies the Grantor in writing that it has no program to approve such a Plan or Plans, Grantor may undertake Commercial Forestry activities so long as the activities are conducted consistent with the NYSDEC Forest Management Stewardship Plans and in accordance with the technical standards set forth in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's "Best Management Practices for Water Quality" field guide or such successor standards.
Forest Management. The State agrees within five years of the date of this Agreement, to further develop its Forest Management Systems and processes through the development and implementation of environmental management systems in accordance with the principles specified in Attachment 5 and acknowledges that its objective for State Forest is system certification comparable with the ISO 14000 series.
Forest Management. ADCNR-WFF can enroll a landowner under a SHMA if that landowner agrees to maintain or implement a forest management strategy or plan on the enrolled property that would provide the required foraging and/or nesting habitat for RCWs. In general, this would entail the use of timber harvest rotations of greater than thirty (30) years for foraging habitat and greater than sixty (60) years for nesting habitat, the use of uneven-aged silvicultural treatments, and/or the integration of other management activities (e.g., burning or hardwood control), which are necessary to maintain the open, mature pine forests that are preferred by RCWs. An eligible forest management strategy or plan would include a landowner agreeing to include one or more of the following in a SHMA:
a) implementation or maintenance of a forest management strategy or plan that maintains or enhances occupied RCW habitat. This action would provide an immediate net conservation benefit to RCWs.
b) implementation or maintenance of a forest management strategy or plan that maintains or enhances existing habitat that is potentially suitable nesting or foraging habitat. This action would provide an immediate net conservation benefit to RCWs.
c) implementation or maintenance of a forest management strategy or plan that restores habitat to a condition that will, in the future, provide potentially suitable nesting or foraging habitat. The net conservation benefit of this action would not be achieved until the areas where the forest management strategy or plan was implemented or maintained became either occupied by RCWs or potentially suitable nesting or foraging habitat for RCWs.
