Comments are being accepted until Nov. 6, 2015, on the proposed Land Use Objectives Order for the Cranberry Sustainable Resource Management Plan area.

Public feedback on the order will be considered prior to implementing the order. The Cranberry SRMP area is approximately 205,120 ha. in size and is located in the western portion of the Kispiox Timber Supply area.

The order will legally establish some of the land use objectives in the plan that must be adhered to by all major forest licence holders operating in the area. The draft land use order addresses many resource values including First Nations cultural heritage resources, freshwater ecosystems, landscape biodiversity and wildlife habitat.

Written comments can be sent to: Laura Bolster, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Bag 5000, 3726 Alfred Avenue, Smithers, B.C., V0J 2N0, or by fax to 250 847-7728, or by email: Laura.Bolster@gov.bc.ca until Nov. 6, 2015.
