Upcoming works:

Project: BCTS Road deactivation fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028

Under Section 121(9) of the Forest Act, BC Timber Sales will be completing approximately 46 km of permanent road deactivation work on various Forest Service Road (FSR) sections within the Quesnel Natural Resource District.

The planned road deactivation maps are available for public review:

• Download the maps

The objective of road deactivation works is to place the road in a self-maintaining state, to prevent degradation of water resources, and to limit automobile access. Common road deactivation techniques include, but are not limited to, vehicle access controls (such as barricades), cross-ditches, water bars, bridge and culvert removal, re-contouring road surfaces, and grass seeding. 

These BCTS Forest Service Roads were built or used by BC Timber Sales operations and are no longer required for industrial forest activity. BC Timber Sales cannot maintain surplus roads that are no longer needed for ongoing operations. If you believe a road(s) should remain open and maintained, you can apply to the Ministry of Forests at Forests.QuesnelDistrictOffice@gov.bc.ca to have the tenure and maintenance obligations reassigned to you and pay a security deposit. Roads not reassigned to new tenures will be permanently deactivated.
