25 TIPS FOR 25 YEARS In recognition of our 25 years, from our more than 600 reports published we are highlighting forest and range practice tips and suggestions that are still relevant today. TIP #19 - IMPLEMENTING LEGISLATIVE CHANGE... Forest Practices Board 1998 Annual Report http://ow.ly/IiK550BhIlL As government amends FRPA, we reflect back on what was happening when substantial changes were being made to forest practices legislation in 1997-98. Following major legislative change, a period of stability is necessary: There has been much comment about the excessive bureaucracy and time-consuming and costly approval processes that have accompanied the introduction of the Forest Practices Code. The Board has observed that this is partly a people problemor, more precisely, a problem of not enough trained and experienced people in the field with policy direction and a clear mandate to make decisionsGovernment and industry need to createa stable working environment, with ongoing training and clear policy direction so that these people can implement the Code effectively and efficiently.
