SU27TGC001 – Broadleaf Silviculture Surveys - Prince George
Solicitation number BCSU27TGC001
Publication date
Closing date and time 2026/04/14 13:00 EDT
Description
There is currently 3,158 ha of broadleaf (≥ 75% broadleaf) and 4,903 ha of mixedwoods (25-75% broadleaf) in age class 5 within the study area (THLB and non-THLB). Currently, there is not adequate broadleaf or mixedwood area in age class 1 to replace age class 5 broadleaves. Furthermore, existing age class 1 broadleaf and mixedwood stands may not become age class 5 broadleaf or mixedwood stands as the recent modelling work with MGM suggests that natural succession over 80 years may still result in a conifer leading stand (Comeau 2024).
The purpose of this survey project is to support the recruitment of age class 1 broadleaf and mixedwood stands to what currently exists in age class 5 within the IBWG study area. This is important to rebalance the forecasted age class distribution given the high value of old broadleaf and mixedwood stands for ecological function and wildlife habitat. The recruitment of young stands for future old age classes concurrently addresses timber and non-timber values, such as biodiversity; ecosystem resilience to wildfire, forest health and climate change; wildlife habitat; First Nations values; connectivity; restoration; etc.
The plot intensity is 1 plot/ha. See Appendix I – Survey Procedures for background information and survey procedures, particularly the Free Growing Standards section on page 10 of the Interior Broadleaf Working Group Stocking Standard Background Document.
