Forest Stewardship Plan
A forest stewardship plan (FSP) is a map-based, landscape-level plan of potential forest development activities that are intended to take place in the plan area. Forest agreement holders must prepare, and have approved by government, a forest stewardship plan before harvesting or road building activities can begin.
The forest stewardship plan has a term of five years and may be renewed for additional terms.
Resource professionals are encouraged to create innovative approaches for balancing multiple resource values or address forest health concerns (such as diseases and bark beetle outbreaks).

The Eniyud Community Forest has signed on to a major licensee Forest Stewardship Plan, similar to many smaller license holders. These complex plans are more recently designed in collaboration with government where strategies and objectives are provided by both parties for acceptance and approval. The ECF manages all forestry operations consistent with the most up to date FSP and strategies approved by government.
More information on Forest Stewardship Plans is available at the BC Government website.
