British Columbia Forest Practices Code

The British Columbia Forest Practices Code is a set of regulations designed to sustainably manage and conserve forests while allowing responsible logging and land use. It establishes standards for protecting water quality, wildlife, and the environment during forestry activities. The code requires logging companies to develop plans, minimize environmental impact, and follow prescribed practices to ensure forests remain healthy for future generations. Its goal is to balance economic benefits with ecological stewardship, promoting sustainable development and responsible stewardship of forest resources in British Columbia.
