Robson Valley Timber Supply Area

The Robson Valley TSA is located within the Rocky Mountain Trench south of Prince George to Jasper National Park. It covers approximately 1.24 million hectares and includes the communities of McBride, Dunster, Valemount and Crescent Spur.

The current allowable annual cut (AAC) for the Robson Valley TSA, effective August 4, 2006, is 536,000 cubic metres per year and includes a 6,000 cubic metre partition attributable to deciduous–leading stands.  This AAC will remain in effect until a new AAC is determined, which must take place within five years of this determination, unless the redetermination date is formally postponed according to the provisions of Section 8 of the Forest Act.

Current Timber Supply Review

The third timber supply review (TSR 3) was initiated in 2003.  A key component of the TSR is the preparation of a timber supply analysis.  Under the Defined Forest Area Management (DFAM) initiative, DFAM participants in the TSA are collectively responsible for completing the Robson Valley TSA timber supply analysis.  Click here to link to the DFAM group's web page.

The DFAM group's analysis report was released in November 2005.

The chief forester's rationale was released on August 4, 2006.
