BRITISH COLUMBIA -- The Forest Practices Board says it will examine the activities of Canadian Forest Products Ltd. (Canfor) on tree farm licence 14, in the Rocky Mountain Resource District, during the week of July 11, 2016.

The auditors will examine all operational planning, harvesting, roads, silviculture and wildfire protection practices for compliance with the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act.

Canfor's forestry activities are located 32 kilometres southwest of Golden, in the East Kootenay. The audit area is surrounded by the Glacier National Park in the northwest and Bugaboo Provincial Park in the south, with the Spillimacheen River, Bobbie Burns Creek and Vowell Creek as the main watersheds.

The Forest Practices Board is British Columbia's independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.
