• Phase One of the Kalum land use
planning process began in 1991, prior to the development
of LRMP principles and process guidelines. Phase 1 only
included the area within the Kalum Timber Supply Area, less
than a third of the current total planning area. The two
Tree Farm Licences (TFLs) within the Kalum planning area
(TFL 1- Skeena Cellulose Inc. and TFL 41 - Skeena Sawmills
Ltd., a division of West Fraser) were excluded from Phase
One. The TFLs fully particpated in Phase Two of the process,
which officially commenced in September 1996.
• Phase One and Phase Two agreements
were be brought together to form a single, integrated land
use plan for the entire Kalum LRMP area. Government agencies
and other resource managers are currently developing implementation
strategies and tasks are being identified to build a coordinated
implementation strategy.
• The Land and Resource Management
Plan is a key element of British Columbia's Land Use Strategy.
Land and Resource Management Plans are sub-regional land
use plans that consider all resource values and a broad
scope of community interests.
