Dun- bar noted that the NSR figures are applied to lands harvested, burned or disturbed in some other way prior to 1982. Regional manager Bob Friesen noted that after the first FRDA was ratified at one point the NSR inventory in the Prince Rupert Tegion actually increased at one point, not through cutting but because large areas in the southern half of the Cassiar Timber Supply Area were re-classified from poor to medium growing sites after a forest service survey. Waren Mitchell, ihe silviculture issues forester for the ministry in Victoria, said that Oberle and Richmond "have agreed to have an agreement" and the overall con- tents of the new FRDA are yet to be worked out. He said it could be months before anything is signed. No matter what is in the new FRDA, Mitchell said, the provin- cial government is committed to clearing up the NSR backlog by the year 2000, with or without federal assistance. yy A REL Mie al EE Aas. weit eR TE ee SE ” a Fr IS THIS FAIR TEACHERS?} Lene ARIES Mar. 21-Apr. 19 Holiday travel brings you in touch with an author- ily figure who is instrumental in helping you achieve a cherished goal, You really get into the recycling spirit, You can be extremely resourceful in preserving our re- sources. .
