Key Concepts In The Design of Forest Inventories
A Blueprint for Cooperation Amongst Licensees and the B.C. Provincial Government
Executive Summary
The purpose of this paper is to outline a framework within which the Forest Industry would be an active partner in the development and implementation of the forest inventory
at a local level. The main points are as follows:
- Provincial needs from the forest inventory do not coincide with those of Industry
at the local level of forest management.
- There is the potential to design and implement an inventory that could fulfill both
requirements; the key design principles or concepts necessary to obtain this goal
are the main topic of discussion herein.
- Industry has a direct interest in the inventory insofar as issues relating to wood
supply affect the market values of their assets. Therefore the Industry should
consider taking a more active role in Inventory management and reporting.
- Given the need for extensive coordination amongst Government, Industry and
other potential partners, it is recommended that the inventory be managed at a
local level within an independent management agency.
- The Inventory should be managed at a level that is consistent with area-based
management. For the purposes of areas managed under Forest Licenses are to be
accommodated under the concept of Defined Forest Area Management (DFAM),
albeit other systems of organization may be possible.
- The costs of this proposal can be largely accommodated through a realignment of
current funds. However, inventory management should also be included as an
eligible expense item within the system of appraisal allowance.
- The development, maintenance and utilization of a forest inventory requires a
well structured and disciplined process to be effective, and the whole organization
(woods department) needs to understand how the system works, why it is
important to the organization, and what their responsibilities are with respect to
this process. This is a key competency required by forest managers and their
organizations, that to date has been under-developed within the current system of
forest management in British Columbia. It will take time to overcome this weakness.
