The following Taan Forest video documents the Council of the Haida Nation’s process and efforts to achieve and implement the current Haida Gwaii Land Use Objectives Order (HGLUOO).

Over the last couple of months Taan Forest Ltd. (Taan) and their contractors have been partnering with the coordinators of the Mount Moresby Adventure Camp (MMAC) to plan upgrades at the grounds.

We are excited to share this Taan documentary. This video documents some of our forestry operations. It emphasizes our efforts in restoration and shows some of the people that are doing this important work.

An audit of Taan Forest Limited Partnership’s tree farm licence 60 and Taan Forest Ltd.’s forest licence A87661 on Haida Gwaii has found the company complied with almost all requirements of the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) and the Wildfire Act.

Taan Forest supports value-added processing and manufacturing on Xaayda Gwaay.yaay/ Xaadáa Gwáay Haida Gwaii and is excited to announce a new pilot program* that offers discounted log pricing for on-island small-scale sawyers and sawmills. The program details and eligibility requirements are outlined below.

Over the last two years, Taan Forest Limited Partnership (Taan Forest) has utilized over $1.6 million in funding from the Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC) to support two projects focused on ecological restoration of close to 300 hectares of riparian and habitat area in Xaayda Gwaay.yaay Haida Gwaii.

Taan Forest welcomes the Forest Practices Board to Haida Gwaii to conduct a routine General Audit on Taan Operations relating to Provincial Legislation Requirements on TFL 60 and FLTC A87661 the week of September 20th to 24th.

All Taan staff and contractors who may fight wildfire must have annual wildfire safety and suppression training. On July 9th, 2021, we held our most recent wildfire training, and we currently have over 60 trained persons within the Taan Forest organization.

The construction of resource roads is to develop and protect local natural resources. Logging trucks and firefighting equipment must be able to use the roads without delay. If you choose to use resource roads for recreation access, please do so with care by following these important safety tips.

The Council of the Haida Nation, Canadian Coast Guard, BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and Taan Forest were the Unified Command who oversaw the Foss 153 Diesel Spill Diinan Kahlii Dinan Bay, Haida Gwaii.

Notice is hereby given that Taan Forest has received a major amendment approval to their approved Forest Stewardship Plan for TFL 60 and FLC A87661 adding new licenses A97524 and FNWL N1G (The Haida Tenure) without having been made publicly available for review and comment.

Sampling and SCAT (Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique) surveys are now complete. There has been no observed fish kills by response personnel, sampling personnel, or shoreline assessment personnel. Samples have been taken in accordance with the approved sampling plan and are being analyzed by the lab and the data collated. Once this data has been reviewed by the Environmental Unit and Unified command, which are made up of representatives of the Council of Haida Nation, the Federal Government, the Provincial Government, and Taan Forest, the results will be released.

Following the intense spill response last week, efforts are now being directed to shoreline monitoring and environmental sampling.

Following three days of intense spill response, clean-up efforts are now being directed to shoreline monitoring and environmental sampling.

Today clean-up efforts continue in relation to the diesel spill in Diinan Kahlii Dinan Bay.

At Diinan Kahlii Dinan Bay between 01:00 and 05:00 April 22, 2020, a valve feeding diesel to the electrical generator failed on the Toba Barge owned by Taan Forest. Consequently, an estimated 4500 liters of diesel leaked onto the deck of the barge and into the ocean near the dryland sort.

Notice is hereby given that Taan Forest is submitting a First Nation Woodland Licence Management Plan (FNWL) to convert the Haida Tenure FLC A87661 to a First Nation Woodland Licence FNWL N1G.
The Management Plan is necessary to enact the First Nation Woodland Licence and replace FLC A87661 which expires in September 2020.

As part of the FSC® commitments, Taan has recently completed the 2018 Annual Monitoring Report and made some minor changes to the FSC®Management Plan to incorporate feedback from the Council of the Haida Nation.

Taan Forest is submitting a major amendment to their 2018 -2022 Approved FSP for CHN and Provincial Government Approval.

The Amendment is required for the inclusion of Intermediate Entry Cutting Stocking standards. Approval of this major amendment will allow Taan Forest to harvest in second growth stands without having to create a clear cut and utilizing even aged stocking standards currently approved in Taan’s FSP.

The approval also allows us to move forward on our promise of finding alternative and innovative harvest methods on Haida Gwaii while complying with provincial laws.
