1.4 DELEGATION 1.4.1 Central Forestry Revitalization

Tara DeCourcy Selkirk Resource District Manager

Chair Watson welcomed Tara DeCourcy, Selkirk Resource District Manager, to the remote Board meeting.

Tara DeCourcy gave a presentation to the Board regarding the Forest Management in the Selkirk Resource District and the top three priorities in 2020. Ms. DeCourcy indicated the Selkirk Resource District is a complex district and the responsibilities within the District are:

Engineering;

Stewardship;

Land/Tenures;

Scaling;

Range; and

Wildfire Risk Reduction.

Ms. DeCourcy indicated that due to COVID-19 the District's priorities have changed. The District's objectives are to be consistent and provide a high level of service to the public while abiding by the COVID-19 standards. She indicated the three top priorities for 2020 are:

Response and Recovery;

Wildfire Risk Reduction; and


3

Responsible Stewardship and Management of Values

and all three priorities include reconciliation with the Indigenous people and working together. She communicated that the District staff are working from home and trying to manage business remotely. Forestry is an essential service and the number one priority within Response and Recovery is to ensure the fibre supply for sawmills and secondary manufacturers. It is important there is effective communication between stakeholders, which creates some challenges because some are shut down due to COVID-19. The District is working hard to continue moving forward.

Ms. DeCourcy pointed out Wildfire Risk Reduction is a new program and there has been a few growing pains. The District will be focusing on identifying priority areas, following through on treatments developed under the Forest Enhancement Society, developing plans and prescription implementations for next year and building relationships to shift the program to practice.

She indicated under the Responsible Stewardship and Management of Values priority the data for the Kootenay Lake Timber Supply review has been completed and the information will be consolidated into a report that will be published to the public in the near future. She discussed the increase of pine beetle affecting Douglas Fir and of the invasive gypsy moths and how the District is working towards preventative measures. She indicated the District's focus for climate change prior to COVID-19 focused on legislative changes but now is concentrating on the response to COVID-19.

In conclusion, Ms. DeCourcy open the floor to answer the Board's questions.

Chair Watson thanked Tara DeCourcy for her presentation at 9:42 a.m.
