Region: Canada West

The Nakusp and Area Community Forest (NACFOR) is pleased to announce the addition of 3,434 hectares to Community Forest Agreement (CFA) K2S. This amendment increases the total CFA area from 9,192 hectares to 12,626 hectares and was approved in late 2025 by the Regional Executive Director of the Kootenay Boundary Region. The additional area will help to diversify NACFOR’s landbase and ensure the long-term sustainability of its annual allowable cut of 20,000 cubic metres. The new areas, previously part of Interfor Corporation’s Forest License, include a parcel adjacent to NACFOR’s Wensley Creek operating area and NACFOR’s Woodlot #406, the north face of Box Mountain, and a large area over Allshouse Peak, from the Summit Lake Forest Service Road to Slewiskin Forest Service Road. This area will be managed under NACFOR’s Forest Stewardship Plan…
