    Description

    Summary:

    The Chilcotin Training Area (CTA), located north of the small community of Riske Creek and about 35 kilometres west of Williams Lake, consists of approximately 41,000 hectares of land owned by the Department of National Defence (DND). The management of forest resources on this property is the responsibility of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) through an Order-in-Council P.C. O.I.C 1961-807.

    ISC has identified areas within the CTA that are not satisfactory restocked. As a result, ISC has initiated a reforestation program on the property as part of ISC due diligence to rehabilitate the forested land base.

    ISC is looking to establish a contract for a period of up to a (1) years to carry out reforestation services in support of ISC’s due diligence to rehabilitate the forested land base. The objective is to select a supplier in the re-forestation services to plant in the appropriate microsites on cut blocks for the spring 2024 season. 280,000 seedlings are scheduled to be planted by ISC.
