Teal Jones' TFL 46 is publicly owned land and includes the Fairy Creek watershed. The timber supply review process allows for public discussion of Teal Jones' management plan for the tree farm licence (TFL).
As a part of that public discussion, professional forester Martin Watts submitted to Teal Jones eight questions about, and a further eight comments on, its management plan for TFL 46, a plan which staff with the forests ministry had previously reviewed. This leads me to ask additional questions:
Was the plan crafted by professional foresters? If so, by whom?
Was the plan reviewed by professional foresters in the forests ministry? If so, by whom?
Does the plan accommodate the public's interest? A professional forester is bound ethically by the Association of BC Forest Professionals to uphold the public interest.
Do Martin Watts' questions and comments point to incompetence on the part of professional foresters crafting the plan and those within the forests ministry reviewing the plan?
