“Right to Practice” Update Presentation
Hi All,
Below and in the right hand pane, you will find the presentation from the the two information sessions held on June 22, 2022.
You can provide feedback on the proposes act and bylaws by submitting comments to the form here (and located in the right hand pane) or you can send an email to the NBFTA at the email address contact@nbfta.org
Right-to-Practice_presentation_2022_06_22Right to Practise Update
On the right hand side of the website under the category “INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED RIGHT TO PRACTICE LEGISLATION” you will find draft legislation, bylaws and a “guiding principles” document all pertaining to draft/ proposed right to practise legislation. The guiding principles document was designed to assist us through the process to this point. Both the NBFTA and the ARPFNB have worked jointly on these documents to date.
Please take some time to review them. In brief, this legislation would limit the right to practice professional forestry to registered members of this new association.
Under the proposed legislation, the “Practice of professional forestry” means the provision of services or undertakings which, because of their scope and implications respecting forests, forest lands, forest resources and forest ecosystems, require the specialized education, knowledge, training, and experience of a registered member, and includes(a) designing, planning, directing, or advising with respect to:
(i) the inventory, classification, appraisal, evaluation, and certification of forests and forest lands,
(ii) silviculture prescriptions and treatments of forest stands, including the harvesting of timber,
(iii) planning, locating and approving forest transportation systems, including forest roads,
(iv) conservation, reclamation, and renewal of forests and forest lands, and
(v) the protection of forests and forest lands.
(b) the preparation, review, amendment and approval of forest management and operating plans and administration of forest lands.
(c) assessing the impact of planned activities on forests, forest lands and forest ecosystems.
(d) auditing, examining, and verifying the results of planned activities on forests, forest lands and forest ecosystems.
(e) assessing, estimating, and analyzing the capability of forests, forest lands, and forest ecosystems to yield a flow of timber and other values.
(f) teaching core forestry subjects as defined in the by-laws at a college, technical institute, or university.
Feedback on the proposed Act and Bylaws can be made here: Comments Here
