Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) is inviting the public to share their thoughts on the updated Forest Management Plan through an open feedback process.
SVCA manage over 8,000 hectares of Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority owned forested property throughout the watershed, in accordance with 20 year Forest Management Plans. The purpose of such a plan is to manage these lands in a professional and sustainable manner to ensure the forest ecosystems are kept in a diverse, vigorous, and healthy condition.
The updated Forest Management Plan is a cornerstone document outlining SVCA’s approach to sustainable forest management. It ensures that forest ecosystems are maintained in a diverse, vigorous, and healthy condition while balancing ecological integrity, economic benefit, public use, and long-term stewardship.
“This plan provides the foundation for how we manage SVCA forests, not just for timber, but for habitat, recreation, and long-term sustainability. It’s about making sure these lands continue to serve our communities now and for generations to come.”
- Donna Lacey, Manager of Forestry and Lands.
