Final Harvest Plan

The primary components of a Final Harvest Plan (FHP) include a map and report that clearly illustrates and documents the harvest area boundaries, roads and watercourse crossings within an individual compartment.

Unless otherwise approved by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD), the FHP will follow the harvest sequence illustrated in the General Development Plan (GDP) and subsequently the Spatial Harvest Sequence (SHS) outlined in the Detailed Forest Management Plan (DFMP).

Final Harvest Plans (FHP's) are developed for each compartment scheduled for harvest. Unlike the DFMP and GDP, which focus on landscape-level goals and objectives, the FHP addresses specific stand-level objectives for the harvest area. Although the scope of the FHP focuses on stand-level goals and objectives, these goals and objectives remain consistent with the landscape-level goals and objectives identified in both the GDP and DFMP.

The FHP shall illustrate the location of each harvest area, road(s), watercourse crossing(s), as well as a detailed reforestation plan specific to each harvest area. In addition, details regarding access management and reclamation, as well as specific strategies to mitigate impacts to watersheds and other sensitive sites within the compartment must also be identified in the FHP.

Final Harvest Plans will be added to this section as they are developed, submitted, and approved by Alberta.
