Provided that a forest area is included in the National Forest Plan and respective Provincial Forest Plans, one of the first pre-requisite to developing the timber project is the forest inventory over the area to ascertain the type and quantity of timber resource in the area. The following processes are undertaken:

1)      Base Map Preparation;

2)      Plan, Design and Execution of Survey;

3)      Data Analysis; and

4)      Making recommendations to the National Forest Board whether the forest area surveyed constitutes enough resource to warrant a forestry operation.
