This guidebook was created to provide direction to those performing silviculture surveys on forest land within British Columbia. The procedures outlined have been formulated to meet and exceed the requirements of the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act and applicable regulations. It outlines the types of silviculture surveys that can be conducted and begins with an overview of general survey procedures, including field and office procedures and the data summary. It then presents guidelines for conducting specific types of surveys examining forest health, site preparation, tree stocking, and free growing trees, as well as for conducting such special surveys as line intersects, visual assessments, and green-up surveys. The appendices include a glossary, silviculture survey forms, decision rules for determining the number of survey plots required, free treatment thresholds, and examples of completed survey reports.
