Page 10, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, May 22, 1985 Steel River crown unit | open house The Ministry of Natural Resources Steel River Crown Unit held an open house in Terrace Bay, Wednesday May 8th at the MNR offices here. The open house is designed as an information session regarding forest manage- ment on the Steel River Unit. : The District of Terrace Bay has included in its boundaries; Ontario Paper Unit with which the Ministry has a Forest Management Agreement, meaning the company cut- ting there plans for harvest, cuts and plants Big Pic Unit, whose plans for harvest must be approved by the Ministry and after the cut the Ministry is responsible for planting, Steel River Crown Management Unit, which is under control of the Ministry in regards to the planning for harvest and planting, thus the open house. Most of us are pro- bably aware that the Kimberly Clark Unit Operates out of the Geraldton offices of the Ministry, as most of their land falls into that District. The Forest Management process is divided into three levels; the Manage- ment Plan, the Operating Plan and the Annual Plan.

It is the first step in developing shorter term plans. This document outlines manage- ment objectives and pro- vides description of the land base, a summary of the productive forested land, an annual allowable cut calculation, a 20-year allocation of timber, and general silviculture and road construction guidelines. The Operating Plan is a five-year plan detailing the forest operations that are to occur, and is the next step in carrying out the objec- tives of the Management Plan. This document in- cludes a revision of the an- nual allowable cut calcula- tion, a five-year allocation of timber and forecasts road development and silvicultural activities. The Annual Plan is writ- ten yearly and states the ac- tions that will be carried out during the year, to put the Operating Plan into effect. Many people are direct- ly affected by the harvesting, trappers, air companies who fly people into these remote areas, etc. but as we all live in the area we are all indirectly involved and responsible for the proper control of our forests. The Ministry invites anyone with concerns and question to write to them by June 7th, 1985. Follow- ing analysis of all com- ments received, a Draft Operating Plan will be prepared. When com- pleted, it will be available at the Terrace Bay and 'Manitouwadge offices for public review. The Draft Operating Plan should be available to the public for review this September.
