Backlog Management Policy "backlog area" means an area a) from which the timber was harvested, damaged, or destroyed before October 1, 1987; and, b) that in the District Manager's opinion, is insufficiently stocked with healthy, well-spaced trees of a commercially acceptable species Not satisfactorily restocked (NSR)" means productive forest land that has been denuded and has not been regenerated to the desired stocking standards for the opening

  3. Previous NSR Reports

  4. By Region, backlog NSR would be eliminated by: • 2007 in PR, PR • 2005/06 in Car, Kam, Nel • 2003/04 in Van

  5. Where do these backlog NSR numbers come from? • RESULTS via the Corporate Reporting System

  6. Known Challenges: • Not just an opening file exercise • Getting down to the most challenging openings • Anticipating year over year increasingly challenging openings • Resourcing • Do folks know about their options with survey standards?

  7. Where does Forsite fit in? • Forsite is our provincial contractor, initially handling category 1, and 6 backlog NSR openings

  8. Quick Wins -There are a number of openings in the backlog NSR listing that are in excess of 1,000 hectares -Where no RAH’s in place let’s make use of Forsite’s horsepower to clean up these openings
