Cutting Permit & Road Tenure Administration
Provisions under the Forest Act and Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) have been amended under the Forest Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 23, 2021). For more information, click here.
A cutting permit issued in accordance with the Forest Act is the cutting authority that allows harvesting on a specific area, in accordance with rights and obligations under an agreement.
A road tenure (includes road permits, and road use permits) provides a holder of an agreement with authority to use and maintain a road on Crown land for industrial purposes. Road Permits provide the holder with the authority to construct, use and maintain a road as well as the cutting authority to cut, or cut and remove Crown timber if required. A road use permit provides the holder to use and maintain Forest Service Roads. All industrial use requires authority to use and maintain access on Crown land.
