Why consultation isn't required
We’re sharing this notice to inform the public of our intent to prepare Forest Management Plans. Formal consultation will take place separately for each Forest Management Plan during its planning process.
Under the 2024 Forest Management Planning Manual, this notice fulfills the requirement to publicly share the list of Forest Management Plans to be prepared.
