Taan Forest is committed to create a successful forest business and economy on Haida Gwaii based on the management objectives of the Haida Gwaii Land Use Objectives Order (HGLUOO). Unique to this order are the management of cultural heritage and forest features, culturally significant wildlife, significant protection of fish bearing waters in addition to principles of Ecosystem Based Management.

Taan Forest is submitting a major amendment to their 2018 -2022 Approved FSP for CHN and Provincial Government Approval.

The Amendment is required for the inclusion of Intermediate Entry Cutting Stocking standards. Approval of this major amendment will allow Taan Forest to harvest in second growth stands without having to create a clear cut and utilizing even aged stocking standards currently approved in Taan’s FSP.

The approval also allows us to move forward on our promise of finding alternative and innovative harvest methods on Haida Gwaii while complying with provincial laws.

We would like to include you in our list of communication contacts for future referrals and information about Taan’s forest management activities within your trapline area.

Our current contact list was generated from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (MFLNRORD) crown land tenure database which is outdated as it does not register trap lines that have been passed down through Haida Families.

Taan Forest LP (Taan) is certified under the Forest Stewardship Council®(FSC®) BC-Regional Forest Management Standard (FSC Trademark License: FSC® C104355).

As part of the FSC® commitments, Taan has recently completed the 2017 Annual Monitoring Report and made some minor changes to the FSC®Management Plan.

After an initial public and stakeholder engagement process starting May 31, 2017 Taan Forest has incorporated public and stakeholder comments and has submitted a Forest Stewardship Plan for TFL 60 and FLC A87661 (The Haida Tenure) to the Council of Haida Nation and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations & Rural Development for final review and approval. The review process by Governments is generally 60 days during which time there can be additions and clarifications made to the plan before final sign off.

Taan Forest would like to welcome everyone to a series of events to come out and meet the staff and have open/ informal discussions about our forest operations.

Come out and see what we have been up to related to safety programs, training, planning, silviculture, harvesting, road construction, capacity building and local employment!
