REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
CHIEF FORESTER'S REPORT
For the British Columbia Forest Service, 1969 was a significant year for several
reasons. The year presented new harvest and production records; an expanded
programme of close utilization of forest resources, particularly in the Interior; and
some streamlining of general policy.
The year also marked the start of a new era for the Forest Service—direct
involvement with programmes involving multiple use of (Crown) wooded land.
Some highlights:—
• The estimated net value of forest industry products was $1,107,900,000, an
increase of 5 per cent over 1968. The pulp, paper, and allied industries'
production was up 10 per cent over the previous year.
• The 1969 timber harvest of 1,890,000,000 cubic feet is the highest on
record, exceeding last year's production by about 190,000,000 cubic feet.
• Forest Service revenue from all sources was $89,479,300, an increase of
66.2 per cent over the previous year.
• Weight-scaling of logs in the Interior continued to increase, with this
measurement method applied to 59 per cent of the 1969 harvest. Weight-
scaling also commenced on the Coast and it is anticipated this method of
sample scaling will continue to increase in both Interior and Coast regions.
• About 23,740,000 board feet of commercially valuable drift logs were salvaged, a drop of almost 5,000,000 f.b.m. from 1968.
• Log exports accounted for 155.6 million board feet—1.4 per cent of the
1969 total cut; compared with 1.8 per cent the previous year. Of this total,
approximately 63.9 million board feet came from Crown grants with export
privileges, and nearly 91.7 million board feet deemed surplus or unsuitable
for the requirements of industry.
• A new advisory committee was established to assist in the control of chip
exports, to ensure British Columbia pulp-mills receive an adequate supply.
During 1969, 241,715 units of chips were exported—4 per cent of the total
production.
• During 1969 there were 2,318 forest fires in British Columbia, 271 more
than in 1968. They burned approximately 407,000 acres, compared with
34,000 in 1968; and timber damage totalled $7,400,000. The 1968 damage was $6,800,000. Direct costs of fighting the fires totalled $3,700,000,
compared with $790,000 in 1968.
• During the year, 25,733,800 seedlings were planted throughout the Province by the Forest Service and by industry, with all young trees provided by
Forest Service nurseries. For the first time, planting on Interior Crown
lands exceeded such work in the Coast region. It is still hoped to meet a
planned production and planting schedule of 75,000,000 trees by 1975.
• Information to unit standard is now available on 84,000,000 acres of established public sustained-yield units, and it's planned to have similar information available for all such new units proposed for northern extremities of the
Province by 1975.
11
12 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
• Clearing operations for navigation channels and harbour-sites were started
in the Mica Dam pondage area, and clean-up work continued on Lake
Williston. Clearing also started on the Canadian section of the Libby Dam
pondage area.
• Increased production in practically all avenues of public communication
was attained by the Information Division—formerly known as the Public
Information and Education Division.
• Its public relations programme was aimed at both internal and external
audiences; and the CTV television network used three Forest Service
presentations.
• During 1969 the Forest Service adopted a new symbol featuring a single
tree on an outline of the Province.
• The Forest Service assisted the Cowichan Valley Forest Museum Society
in development and land expansion of a forest museum (near Duncan, on
Vancouver Island) which features the past, present, and future of the
forest industry.
• The year marked the 50th anniversary of Crown range administration by
the Forest Service.
• On July 31, F. S. McKinnon retired as Deputy Minister of Forests, and
was succeeded by J. S. Stokes.
• Permanent force personnel with the Forest Service at the end of the year
totalled 906.
• Forty-eight men graduated from two basic courses conducted by the Forest
Service training-school at " Green Timbers " in Surrey.

INVENTORY DIVISION
HIGHLIGHTS
Surveys on public sustained-yield units (P.S.Y.U.) continued throughout 1969,
and information to unit standard is now available for 84,000,000 acres. All
established public sustained-yield units, and the proposed northern units, should be
surveyed to unit standard by 1975.
Allowable annual cuts for units surveyed in 1968 were calculated to show the
wood available at close utilization under varying conditions—(1) when no one
(past); (2) a portion (present); and (3) all (future) are operating to close
utilization standard.
Forest Inventory Statistics of British Columbia was published and provided
volumes (by unit) to two levels of utilization, areas by cover class, mean annual
increments, rotations, allowable cuts, and other related information. This report
replaces the following previous forest inventory reports of British Columbia: Forests
of British Columbia, by H. N. Whitford and R. D. Craig, 1918; The Forest Resources of British Columbia, by F. D. Mulholland, 1937; and Continuous Forest
Inventory of British Columbia, by H. M. Pogue, 1957.
The latest report was compiled from available individual unit standard surveys
and it is no longer necessary to obtain a unit report for units already completed to a
unit standard. It is planned to revise the statistical report every few years rather
than wait for completion of the Province-wide survey.
1969 PROGRESS
Classification and sampling of mature and immature stands, derivation of loss
factors, and determination of the growth and yield of immature stands continued
throughout 1969.
The division also completed field work to unit standard on nine public sustained-yield units, one proposed public sustained-yield unit, and'the Kyuquot portion
of the Kingcome P.S.Y.U. A total of 13,477,541 acres was brought to unit standard.

A private agency established an additional 92 samples in co-operation with the
Division, which compiled the agency samples in return for using them in the Forest
Service programme. While private samples may not apply to stands in areas of
current field work, they provide supplementary information on similar forest types
in public sustained-yield units.
Several tracked " swamp " vehicles and large-wheel bush bikes were used on
seismic lines in the Fontas and Wapiti P.S.Y.U.s.
The Division completed compilation of all 1968 units in Table B by December,
1969, and reports were released.

RESEARCH DIVISION
A detailed report on the research programme for 1969 will appear in the
annual Forest Research Review compiled at the end of the fiscal year.
TREE IMPROVEMENT STUDIES
At the Cowichan Lake Experiment Station, the preparation of land for clone-
bank use continues, with 30 additional acres being cleared.
A fourth series of intraspecific crosses of Douglas fir were established on two
test-sites on Vancouver Island. A total of 4,533 seedlings was planted in the
spring. Survival on completion of the first growing season was 98 per cent. Measurements of current growth and total height were taken on the 12 test-sites established in 1966 and 1967. In spite of browsing and disease, survival and growth
are satisfactory.
There were not sufficient male and female strobili in the breeding arboretum at
Cowichan Lake for any pollinations to be made. A further 56 provenances of
Douglas fir from Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia were established
in the arboretum.
A paper was given at the Second World Consultation on Forest Tree Breeding
held in Washington, D.C.
In a provenance study of coastal Douglas fir, three additional test-sites were
established over a broad range of climate. A total of 80 acres has now been
planted in this project. Ten additional test-sites were selected and prepared for
planting in the spring of 1970.
In a species trial, Sitka spruce and western hemlock performed better, in terms
of both survival and height growth, than all other species tested. Performance of
western red cedar and 10 Douglas fir provenances was poor, due primarily to heavy
browsing by deer.
Use of Arcotal as a deer repellent appears promising from preliminary tests.
The research nursery and greenhouse was completed at the Red Rock Nursery
and Research Centre near Prince George. A start has been made in the preparation
of a clone-bank area.
Progress of the Interior spruce improvement programme proceeded satisfactorily in 1969—930 scions from 176 selected trees were grafted onto potted spruce
rootstock in April, of which 634 (68 per cent) were still alive in September.
Wind-pollinated seed from all selected trees were spring-sown in the research
nursery. The seedlings are growing well and will be used for a small-scale progeny
trial when they become plantable.
During the summer, 132 additional trees were selected in the East Kootenay
region of the Nelson Forest District. Scions were collected in the fall from each and
grafted in the greenhouse in November. A total of 378 grafts were made.
Twenty-six lots of seed, representing 12 different species of spruce, were sown
in flats last winter and grew well during the summer. They will be outplanted in
1971 in our northern picetum at Red Rock.
Lodgepole pine, of 144 provenances and 147 wind-pollinated families, was
sown in research nurseries at Cowichan Lake and Red Rock. Detailed assessments
of morphology and growth behaviour were made and striking differences are already
apparent. A breeding arboretum at Red Rock wil contain material selected from
18 REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
these sowings, together with selections from supplementary sowings of 645 half-sib
families.
The form and structure of cones and needles from field collections are being
examined in the laboratory to determine the pattern of variation in wild populations.
DATA PROCESSING
Almost all research data are processed through the computing facilities of the
Data Processing Centre, using our statistical programmes.
Most of our field and laboratory data are directly recorded onto 80-column
recording forms, eleminating copying errors and extra work.
Computer programmes have been developed to plot graphs, response surfaces,
and perspective projections, offering visual interpretation to some experimental
results.
The process of random allocation of experimental units has been simplified by
a computer-generated randomization process.
An objective assessment of plant ecological samples is achieved by using a computer programme that divides samples into groups of similar composition.
The Kamloops and Prince Rupert Forest Districts have completed coding data
required for stumpage-adjustment programmes. The data have been forwarded to
Vancouver, punched on cards, and added to the disk file records. Modifications
were made to programmes to cater to local variations in methods, and all adjustments are now done in Vancouver.
Since early 1969 all Prince Rupert Coast tallies have been computed in Vancouver and programmes have been modified to rate and print accounts for the Prince
Rupert Forest District.
Assistance has been given the Management Division in investigating and documenting the present system of handling weight-scaling as a first stage in organizing
computer programmes.
SEEDLING PHYSIOLOGY STUDIES
Work on mineral nutrition of Douglas fir and Sitka spruce has resulted in the
establishment of tissue N, P, and K limits of 1-0 nursery stock necessary for satisfactory growth. It was noted satisfactory growth of a species may occur when tissue
nutrient concentrations vary between quite wide limits. Evidence was obtained to
show this may be partly due to inherent differences in mineral nutrient concentration
related to provenance.
Controlled environment work confirms that short photoperiods and cool nights
hasten development of frost hardiness in Douglas fir seedlings. On the other hand,
subjecting seedlings to moisture stress does not increase frost hardiness and, under
short photoperiods, reduced water supply may even retard hardiness development.
SOIL CLASSIFICATION
It has been previously reported a soil classification system was developed with
the intent to use it for interpreting tree response to various management practices.
A study has been completed of two industrial fertilizer experiments. In one case
different soils showed different growth response to varying amounts of the same
fertilizer. In the second case it was impossible to segregate a response to urea because of technical problems associated with variable stand conditions.
A new study was initiated with industrial co-operation in which the major soils
of the San Juan valley, Vancouver Island, were mapped. An attempt will be made
to interpret the soils for management and silvicultural purposes.
REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
19
ECOLOGY
A new method of analysing association tables of vegetation data by a computer
programme is being tested. If successful, the method will simplify site classification
by vegetation.
CANADA LAND INVENTORY
The Research Division continues to be associated with several Provincial and
Federal organizations in the British Columbia programme of the Canada Land Inventory by participating in the Intersector Analysis Committee. A field project was
undertaken to assess the role of aspen for rating the capability for forestry in northern areas characterized by an absence of coniferous species.
SILVICULTURE
Vancouver
The study of Douglas fir planting stock on high-site lands subject to dense plant
cover (initiated in 1962) was completed. Although no brush competition developed, the study showed large stock and transplant stock grew faster and reached a
greater total height than did the small stock and 2-0 stock. An experiment, established in the Say ward Forest in 1948 to compare large and small stock was re-
measured to support or refute the results reported above and provide data for
economic analysis.
A 10-year study of seedfall of western hemlock, western red cedar, and amab-
ilis fir on the West Coast of Vancouver Island was terminated. It showed that seed
crops, germinative capacity, and time of seedfall were all irregular. Heavy crops
were recorded in 1959/60, 1966/67, and 1968/69. In general, germinative capacity varied in direct proportion to the size of the seed crop, and the time of hemlock
seedfall was much more clearly definable than cedar.
The second in a series of plots comparing bare-root and mudpack seedlings was
established at three locations on the coastal Mainland. Planting was carried out at
regular intervals throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Preliminary results from
the 1968 test indicate mudpack seedlings have no advantage in terms of survival,
regardless of time of planting.
The schedule of spacing and thinning, commenced in 1952 and 1959 in two
13-year-old Douglas fir plantations, was continued at Cowichan Lake and Campbell
River. Twenty-five experimental plots were thinned and 47 remeasured. The plot
management is providing samples of different levels of growing stock which have
formed as the results of various combinations of early, delayed, single, or repeated
thinnings. The research is giving new knowledge of the relative values and relationships of height/diameter breast height from the excessive densities of 2,000 or 3,000
trees per acre to that of free-growing individuals (q.v., Research Review, 1969, p.
93).
Prince Rupert
Two new research projects were initiated. The major study was a Province-
wide co-ordinated investigation of container, bare-root, and mudpack planting of
lodgepole pine and Interior white spruce. The spruce replications are established
near Chapman Lake, while the pine blocks are located south of Burns Lake.
The second project compares spring-lifted, cold-stored lodgepole pine seedlings,
when planted at different periods during the summer season. Test areas are located
near Hazelton and Chapman Lake.
20 REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
Prince George
Study of the feasibility of planting white spruce throughout the growing season
was continued on a high site near McLeod Lake north of Prince George. Despite
a dry May and June, 1969 survival of seedlings planted in 1968 remained above 80
per cent for all plantings. The second annual replication was established during the
summer of 1969, and assessment in autumn indicated the high level of survival with
freshly lifted bare-root stock can be achieved provided stock is handled with reasonable care. Planting will be continued during the summer of 1970. Early results
indicate it may be practical to plant 2-0 bare-root white spruce throughout most of
the summer in fresh to moist sites in the central Interior.
Kamloops
A new rehabilitation study in overmature decadent cedar-hemlock stands was
started near Mabel Lake, where approximately 600 acres were downed and are
ready for burning in 1970.
Plantings of 2-0 and 2-1 bare-root stock and 2-0 stock with roots encased in
mudpacks were made at two-week intervals between mid-May and early August in
the Southern Interior. These were to determine whether planting of stock with roots
protected by mudpacks might be a method of extending the normal spring planting
season. These studies showed that, regardless of the drought conditions and date of
planting, survival of both Engelmann spruce and Douglas fir bare-root stock was
better than that for mudpacked stock The failure of mudpacked stock to respond
as expected may have been partially due to method of storage and to the mudpacking
operation.
Nelson
The rehabilitation study in overmature decade stands of cedar and hemlock
continued. In the Blaeberry valley, planting has commenced.
A second annual replication of a study in extending the planting season in the
Engelmann spruce zone saw plantations established at Monk, Rodd, and Cedar
creeks at intervals during the entire snow-free period.
Preliminary results of a comparison of mudpack and bare-root spruce and fir
seedlings indicate that mudpack seedlings have a poorer survival and are selectively
preferred by rabbits. The poorer survival of the mudpacks may be due to storage
conditions.

REFORESTATION DIVISION
FOREST NURSERIES
Adverse weather conditions affected all phases of nursery operations early in
in 1969, delaying lifting, sowing, and transplanting. Snow arrived before low
temperatures, however, and nursery stock was protected. Winter losses were light,
except for Sitka spruce seed beds killed by frost heaving. A late spring resulted in
1,000,000 trees being heeled-in and held over for fall planting.
Rainfall during the growing season was light, and this, coupled with late
sowing, created a critical period for germination. As a result, inventories of 1-0
stock indicate a 17-per-cent reduction with western hemlock and coastal-sown
spruce inventories about 50 per cent. It is unlikely the planned production of 54.5
million trees will be achieved in 1971.
Except for the Telkwa Nursery, all seed was drill-sown in 1969. A total of
663,178 lineal feet of seed bed (13,264 beds) was sown, including 44,570 lineal
feet sown in the fall of 1968. An additional 87,050 lineal feet of bed was sown
in the fall of 1969.
Forest Service nurseries shipped 28,520,516 trees in 1969. Approximately
67 per cent of these were coastal Douglas fir, an increase of about 8,000,000 trees
over 1968.
At the Surrey Nursery, first sowings were made in 1969, but late spring and
other problems produced limited success.
A serious weed and root-disease problem was encountered at the Duncan
Nursery.
Vandalism occurred at several nurseries, the most serious at Surrey Nursery.
IMPROVEMENTS
Development continues in the nursery programme with sites and facilities being
prepared for the annual production of 75,000,000 trees by 1975.
Most of this work is under way at new nursery-sites located at Red Rock,
Chilliwack, Surrey, and Campbell River, where " instant" nurseries are being
created.
New cold-storage facilities at Red Rock, Chilliwack, Campbell River, and
Rayleigh Nurseries will have a combined storage capacity of about 12,000,000
seedlings. A second unit with a capacity of 3,000,000 trees was started at Red
Rock.
At Campbell River, Red Rock, and Surrey approximately 90 acres were cleared
for seed bed and transplant area, and an additional 35 acres were ploughed at the
Surrey Nursery.
At Chilliwack, fencing, drains, and power-lines were installed; and at Campbell River irrigation mains and a water system were completed. At older nurseries
the improvement programme continued at a reduced rate.
FOREST TREE SEED
No major collectable crops were reported in 1969. Approximately 3,800
bushels of lodgepole pine were harvested.
Extraction of the 11,931 bushels harvested by the Forest Service in 1968 was
completed during 1969 and provided 2,264.400 kilograms of seed. An additional
755.862 kilograms were delivered to storage by industry.

At the Campbell River Seed Orchard, grafted stock losses were replaced with
half-sib seedlings. Approximately 7,000 half-sib seedlings were transplanted at
Duncan for replacement stock at Campbell River, stock for a Mainland high-elevation orchard, and stock for a North Coast orchard.
Sixty thousand container-grown seedlings (primarily Douglas fir) from 470
genetic crosses were produced at the Duncan container nursery for co-operators on
the Tree Improvement Board.
Seed handled at the Duncan seed centre for sowing in 1969 amounted to
1,156.622 kilograms (2,545 pounds).

The seed centre conducted 856 seed tests during 1969.
The tree-seed inventory on December 31, 1969, was 16,550.031 kilograms
(almost 19 tons). Critical seed shortages exist in the Prince Rupert and Kamloops
Forest Districts and at higher elevations in the Vancouver Forest District.
PLANTING
Planting reached a new high in 1969, and despite an extended planting season,
it was necessary to heel-in and store approximately 3,000,000 trees planned for
planting during 1969.
Of the 25,733,800 trees planted on 66,979 acres, the Forest Service planted
9,598,900 trees (37 per cent) on 22,188 acres. Crown planting in the Interior
almost doubled 1968 and for the first time exceeded Crown planting on the Coast.
(See Summary of Planting, Table 22 in the Appendix.)
On the Coast, because of inclement weather, approximately 580,000 trees
allocated for spring planting were heeled-in and carried over to the fall. In the
Vancouver Forest District, 10 contracts totalling 917,000 trees were issued.
Production planting trials with mudpack stock in the Vancouver District continued in 1969 and some 631,000 mudded trees were planted in 13 locations.
Performance of mudpacked seedlings still varies according to planting conditions
REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
23
and further trials are necessary to properly evaluate this type of stock. Effects of
late lifting are a major factor in survival of this stock.
In the Interior districts, high temperatures and low rainfall during May and
June reduced the survival and initial growth of plantations established during the
spring. However, cool, moist weather late in the growing season offset this effect
and fall planting areas were in prime condition.
Interior planting on Crown Lands reached a record of more than 5,000,000
trees in 1969. Planting contracts, issued for the first time in the Interior, totalled
over 900,000 trees. All contracts were successfully completed and an additional
11 contracts were advertised for the spring of 1970.
Planting-out trials with containerized seedlings continued in 1969 with nearly
50,000 plants set out in six locations of the Vancouver District over a period of
seven months. These trials are to determine the survival of this stock type in
relation to bare-root and mudpack seedlings when planted at different periods
during the frost-free season. Their application to high-elevation planting areas is
of particular interest.
Detailed records of planting conditions and seedling performance are kept
up-to-date by constant plot re-examination. General observations to date are
encouraging and indicate containerized seedlings may be successful in extending
the planting season. The quality and size of the containerized seedlings are significant factors of survival and it is probable " plugs " (contents of the container)
planted without the container may be even more successful. Formal trials with
containers and mudpacks were initiated in all Interior districts to determine the
extent and significance of differences related to time of planting and ground conditions. This technique of raising planting stock opens up an extensive field of
investigation. Present trials involve considerable time in nursery production, out-
planting, assessment work, and evaluation of results.
In the 1969 planting programme, field crews established 7,388 semi-permanent
survival sample plots, and an additional 9,033 plots established in earlier plantations
were re-examined.
In co-operation with the Research Division, a direct seeding project was conducted early in 1969 in the Cedarflat Creek drainage area, where 600 acres of
burned cutover land were seeded with 450 pounds of treated Douglas fir seed.
RECONNAISSANCE AND SURVEY WORK
With emphasis on the planting of current not-satisfactorily restocked lands
and recently denuded areas, the need for formal regeneration surveys has diminished.
During 1969, crews in the Vancouver District examined 22,979 acres of current logging and prepared prescriptions for 60 per cent of this area—about 13,800
acres. In addition, 13,000 acres of backlog area were examined and of this, 8,137
acres (62.2 per cent) required planting, including 700 acres requiring site preparation prior to planting.
In the Prince George District, regeneration studies were conducted on machine-scarified areas before or after logging. A total of 25,135 acres were examined,
and 2,674 acres were not satisfactorily stocked. Further site preparation is needed
on 806 acres, while 580 acres are readily plantable. The balance of the understocked area is unplantable. About 90 per cent of these scarified areas are adequately restocked and this reflects the value of recent seed crops in this district.
Survey crews in the Nelson District examined 29,744 acres in 1969 and found
12,620 acres (42.5 per cent) needed restocking. Of this area, 3,510 acres require
site preparation, while 4,400 acres are readily plantable.
24 REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
Regeneration studies were made on 5,416 acres in the Prince Rupert District,
and of the understocked 1,962 acres (36 per cent), 1,158 acres require site
preparation before planting.
All districts are reviewing existing backlog and current areas to determine
future reforestation requirements.
CO-OPERATION
Divisional personnel co-operated with the Canada Department of Fisheries and
Forestry in developing a container seedling system. A small pilot nursery was
established at Duncan to produce container seedlings for the 1969/70 field trials.
Considerable progress was made in the production of these plants with regard to
facilities required and in determining suitable nutrient schedules for incorporation
in irrigation procedures.
Other Forest Service divisions have helped the reforestation programme.
Training of field staff in the districts has contributed considerably to a spirit of
co-operation, which in turn has increased nursery production.
Forest nurseries are becoming increasingly popular with the public, and
nurserymen are now scheduling tours.
Training instruction continued at the University of British Columbia and at
the Forest Service Training-school.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL FORESTRY AND CORRECTIONS
CAMP PROGRAMME
Severe weather early in 1969 affected the work programme, but camps operated at near capacity and by the end of the year most projects were on schedule.
Training of corrections officers determines the success of this co-operative
programme; and classes in fire suppression and reforestation again proved beneficial. For the first time, Forest Service personnel instructed inmates in log-scaling
and four candidates received scaling licences.
Nursery work occupied most man-days, but the highlights of the year were
the achievements of inmate fire-suppression crews which helped fight 23 fires. The
largest was the " Rock " fire near Wellbore Channel, where about 40 inmates
worked on initial action and mopping-up operations.
Inmate crews continued their major role in development of new nurseries in
the Chilliwack Valley, Campbell River, Alouette River, and Red Rock areas. Their
work embraced clearing, burning, fencing, installation of irrigation and drainage
systems, soil preparation, and the construction of equipment and storage sheds.
Inmates were involved in nursery production and they transplanted nearly 1,000,000
seedlings and lifted almost 3,000,000 trees for shipping to planting projects.
Priority was given to nursery work and not all camps handled field planting.
Inmate crews planted 128,000 trees on 220 acres during 1969.
Approximately 200 bushels of lodgepole pine cones were collected by men
from the Hutda Lake and Clearwater camps.
Correction camp crews maintained and improved many miles of roads and
trails in the Chilliwack, Blue Mountain, and Sayward Forests. More than 6 miles
of road were improved in the Naver Forest by a crew from Prince George Regional
Gaol.
Recovery of usable wood from river jams, lakeshore rehabilitations, blowdown,
and right-of-way cleanup enabled camp sawmills to produce more than 500,000
board feet of lumber. This was used for camp buildings and for the construction
REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
25
of buildings and bridges. Shakes, shake-bolts, fence-posts, stakes, and slab wood
for camp use were also produced at the inmates' camps.
Crews were also active on other projects, such as campground servicing and
cleanup, maintenance work at Ranger Stations, clearing brush for experimental
planting, and small construction projects. One crew from the Kamloops Regional
Gaol built 16 miles of fence on the Sullivan Valley range improvement project.
Establishment of a new 60-man camp at Pine Lake in 1969 proves the success
of this programme—in terms of both achievement and human betterment.

REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969 27
INFORMATION DIVISION
Increased production in practically all avenues of public communication was
among highlights of 1969 for the Information Division, formerly known as the
Public Information and Education Division.
In addition to increasing its output of news releases, magazine articles, special
features, radio broadcasts, and several television shows, the Division also developed
a stronger liaison with forest resource industry, business, and other related organizations.
Its public relations programme was aimed at both internal and external audiences; and the broadened scope of operations resulted in one Information Officer
being added to the staff.
The Division was also responsible for the creation of a new Forest Service
symbol.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Production increased in 1969 and, to cope with expansion in colour-slide production and heavy demands for prints, little time was devoted to motion-picture
work. A large portion of laboratory work went to commercial photo-finishers,
enabling the staff to handle technical assignments.
A total of 17,218 prints was made, 908 of these being colour. More than
6,000 prints accompanied news releases.
The photographic library added 455 black-and-white negatives, 500 colour
negatives, and 539 35-mm. slides.
A total of 3,357 duplicate colour 35mm. transparencies was made during the
year, representing a major portion of the section's work. Ten copies of the 120-slide
presentation " Fire Season " were made for the five forest districts. A second show,
comprising 80 slides, was produced (" Logs to Osaka ") and 14 copies were made.
A show illustrating Peace pondage-clearing is nearing completion, and will be
sound-taped early in 1970. Preliminary work was done on a slide presentation dealing with slash disposal.
Major assignments included coverage of the Mica and Libby pondage-clearing
projects, and close utilization illustrations in the Nelson Forest District.
Facilities are still provided for processing X-ray films for the Research Division.
Heavy demand continues for 70-mm. film positives, with 3,050 being produced.
MOTION PICTURES
Neither funds nor time were available for a full-scale motion-picture production
programme. A total of 3,000 feet of colour 16-mm. film was shot.
A special assignment in the Terrace-Kitimat area required footage for use in
local fire-prevention messages. Footage of women planters at work in the Hope
area was used during a television programme on reforestation.
Two 25-second and one 55-second fire-prevention clips were distributed to
television stations throughout the Province for use during high fire-hazard periods.
Four subjects photographed in 1968 were sounded—all produced for the Inventory Division's safety training programme. One, "Axe Facts," won the Canadian
Forestry Association award in the training-film category, held at this year's Pacific
National Exhibition; and an award of distinction in the International Festival of
Forest Fire Control films, sponsored in Ottawa by the F.A.O.
28 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
LIBRARY
The librarian visited the Prince George District to help organize material available for foresters in that area.
The mailing-list for the monthly accession list now totals 390. They are sent
to personnel of the Forest Service, industry in British Columbia and Alberta, and to
consulting foresters in British Columbia. From these lists the library received about
1,500 requests per month.
FILM LIBRARY
Throughout 1969 the Forest Service film library issued 1,065 films on loan—
and they were seen by a combined adult and student audience of 252,428. These
figures compare with 833 loans and 217,847 viewers the previous year.
The films were used by a wide variety of organizations throughout Canada and
the United States, and included forest district staffs, universities, technical schools,
service clubs, and schools of all grade levels.
It was difficult to find appropriate subjects for inclusion in the library. Of 37
films from outside sources which were previewed, only four were selected. A total
of 33 films were added to the library during 1969, of which 29 were Forest Service
productions.
DISPLAYS
The reforestation unit of a new exhibit was installed in the British Columbia
Building at the Pacific National Exhibition during 1969. It's a permanent display,
which will also feature a research presentation.
At the Pacific National Exhibition's Festival of Logging, the Forest Service
lookout tower attracted more than 24,000 visitors.
A special display featuring close utilization of forest resources was exhibited at
the annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Forestry held in Prince George. The
display was also used at the Pacific Logging Congress in Vancouver.
EDUCATION
The libraries of 68 schools were provided with Forest Service information
material; a number of schools were visited, and where time permitted, lectures were
presented.
Revised editions of the Illustrated Forest Activities pamphlet series were distributed to schools throughout the Province, and will be used in a resource reader being
prepared by the British Columbia branch of the Canadian Forestry Association.
FOREST SERVICE MUSEUM
Late in 1969, Information Officer D. E. Adderley assumed duties of honorary
curator of the museum. Some items have been catalogued and stored; and it's
hoped to have a display area soon for the various Forest Service artifacts.
SIGNS
With the introduction of a new symbol, a number of Forest Service signs are
being redesigned. A prototype of the new Ranger Station sign will be ready early
in 1970, and new signs for other purposes will replace old designs when time and
funds permit.
ADVERTISING
Again in 1969, paid advertising was restricted to " public-awareness messages "
relating to the fire season. Approximately 40 radio stations throughout the Province
carried such announcements between late June and early September.
REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
29
MANAGEMENT DIVISION
While all other parts of the Province registered increases in over-all production,
the Vancouver District showed a drop in the total amount of timber scaled in 1969,
off 1.5 per cent.
The Nelson Forest District recovered from the low of 1968 due to the 1967/68
I.W.A. strike in the Southern Interior.
The timber scale for all products was up 52.5 per cent. This, together with
strong increases in the Prince George and Kamloops Forest Districts, gave a total
Provincial scale of 1,890,052,232 cubic feet, an increase of 11 per cent over 1968
production. Of this increase, the Interior of the Province contributed 94.6 per cent,
and supplied 47.4 per cent of the total scale of the Province.
There was a marked increase in the number of operators in the Prince Rupert,
Prince George, and Kamloops Forest Districts converting to timber sale harvesting
licences and close-utilization operations during the year. A number of " third
band " sales were awarded during the year and, in some sustained-yield units this
meant the full allowable annual cut to close-utilization standards was committed.
The general trend to close-utilization operations was emphasized by the increase
in the number of mills which added chipping and barking facilities during the year.
At the end of 1968 there were 186 mills with chippers, and this figure had remained
relatively constant for three years. In 1969 there were 41 new chippers added and
30 new barkers. The reported production of 5,609,974 units of chips was an increase of nearly 900,000 units over the 1968 figure. With conversion of logging
operations to close-utilization standards, operators have found it necessary to install
milling facilities capable of economically processing the smaller logs.
It was the first full year that waste-assessment procedures were applied throughout the Province. When an area has been logged, sample plots are established by
inspecting officers. Standing and felled material included in the sampling depends
upon the contract utilization specifications. The individual pieces measured are also
classified as to whether they were " avoidable " or " unavoidable." All volumes
measured are recorded against the allowable cut for the timber licence and " avoidable " volumes are billed monetarily in accordance with contract conditions.
An epidemic of spruce bark beetles, found in 1968, spread considerably in the
Fernie and Cranbrook P.S.Y.U.s, with some outbreaks doubling in area. A number
of Forest Service sales were being processed at the close of the year.
Where the form of tenure held by a purchaser or occupier of Crown land does
not give authority to cut and remove timber on the area, a licence to cut may be
issued under section 24, of the Forest Act. The checking, issuance, and inspection of
these licences has added measurably to the work load in some districts. Some 680
licences were issued or renewed during the year, 375 of them in the Prince George
District. The demand for agricultural land in the Quesnel-Prince George-Vanderhoof
area has been responsible for the majority of licences, but mining exploration and
development work throughout the Province has created a considerable demand for
licences to cut.
MARKET PRICES AND STUMPAGE TRENDS
Lumber prices generally continued to increase through the first quarter of the
year, hit their peak in March, then dropped back. The year-end prices were $40 to
$50 per MBM below the levels reached in March.
30 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
Log prices increased through the first quarter, peaked in May, then fell off to
stabilize approximately at the January, 1969, level.
Stumpage prices followed the market to record highs in the first part of the year,
then fell off with the market. Notwithstanding the sharp decline in the market,
average stumpage prices for the year were significantly higher than in previous years.
The average price bid for Crown timber was $9.02 per 100 cubic feet, which
compares with an average $6.26 in 1968, and the averages for the years 1963-67,
inclusive, when stumpage rates were $3.36, $4.09, $4.20, $4.25, and $3.21 respectively per 100 cubic feet.
The weighted average price per 100 cubic feet for licences sold in the Interior
increased from $5.86 in 1968 to $8.84 in 1969, and the comparable average price
on the coast increased from $7.38 to $9.60.
The average stumpage-price detail shown in Table 63 in the Appendix includes the volume sold at "salvage value only" rates, plus the volumes included
in close-utilization licences and cutting permits at a standard 55 cents per 100
cubic feet.
The average stumpage price per 100 cubic feet for all species, excluding close
utilization and salvage wood, was $10.20 on the Coast, compared with $7.49 in
1968 and $11.20 in the Interior, compared with $7.41 in 1968.
STUMPAGE ADJUSTMENTS
As a result of the violent fluctuations in average market values, there were a
total of 22,728 upward stumpage adjustments, followed by 27,309 downward
adjustments. The stumpage adjustments are now processed through the data processing equipment in the Vancouver office.
SUSTAINED-YIELD PROGRAMME
Public Sustained-yield Units
As indicated by Table No. 50, there was no change in the number of public
sustained-yield units during 1969, but over-all statistics have altered as a result of
new inventories for some units. An error in 1968 statistics has been corrected by
transfer to the Prince George Forest District of the area and allowable annual cut of
that portion of the Chilko P.S.Y.U. within that district. A corresponding reduction
has been made in these statistics for the Kamloops District, but to avoid an error in
the total number or units in the Province, the unit has been included in the Kamloops
list only.
The programme of conversion from timber sale licences to timber sale harvesting licences continued, as more licensees realized the advantages of the conversion
and their operations approached the condition where conversion to close utilization
would be feasible.
In conjunction with this programme, and as chip markets have developed in
some Interior units to the extent that conversion to complete close utilization in
logging and manufacturing has become feasible the Forest Service has undertaken
the distribution of the portion of the close-utilization cut not previously committed
in those units.
In view of the heavy demand for land for agriculture and settlement, it has
become necessary to gain better control of the alienation of forest land and, to
accomplish this, the Inventory Division has undertaken a programme of creating
REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
31
forest reserves over the areas included in public sustained-yield units. It is not the
intention of the Forest Service to impede the alienation of arable land or land legitimately required for settlement, but rather to control haphazard settlement and the
alienation of forest land which will be of marginal value for agriculture.
During 1969, forest reserve status was approved for 13 public sustained-yield
units, nine of which had previously been designated as pulp-harvesting forests. This
reduced the number of pulp-harvesting forests to 13.
CERTIFIED TREE FARMS
Certificates were cancelled for two tree farms, one on sale of the property and
one by request of the owner, while one new tree farm was certified. The total
number of tree farms was reduced from 45 to 44, as indicated by Table 48. There
have also been additions and deletions of area included in existing tree farms and, as
additions have exceeded deletions, a slight increase in area and productive capacity
has resulted.
TREE-FARM LICENCES
The utilization and production of wood continues to improve on tree-farm
licences as 25 licensees log to close-utilization standards. The allowable cut for all
licences now totals 543,257,000 cubic feet.
During the year, 10 new working plans were submitted and reviewed.
The amalgamation of Tree-farm Licences 8 and 11 has been completed. The
amalgamation of Tree-farm Licences 1 and 40 and the extension of Tree-farm Licence 2 are under negotiation.
SILVICULTURE
Silviculture treatments and methods continue to evolve with the trend to larger
clear-cuts. Partial stand treatments remain, however, in most Interior regions supplemented by machine-scarification, using a blade or dragchain and other post-
logging treatment such as cable downing of residual trees, burning, and planting
where necessary.
A reduction in the scarification programme for natural regeneration was necessary because of the poor seed-year. Drag scarification in lodgepole pine and
mechanical site-preparation (M.S.P.) for planting in spruce-balsam accounts for
most of the 2,949 acres done in 1969. The total scarification by all agencies in the
Prince George District since such treatment was initiated is now 100,452 acres.
The rehabilitation projects in the Noisy Creek drainage and Blaeberry River
Valley continued, and 545 acres were treated in Noisy Creek. The treatments include downing with chain, cat blade, and power saw, together with other secondary
treatments such as windrowing, bunching, and planting trails. Planting and seeding
projects will continue in both projects in 1970. A final report on the project embodying a benefit-cost analysis should be available in 1972.
SCALING
Conversion from manual scaling to weight-scaling continued in 1969, as illustrated by the number of new weigh-scales established during the year.

The conversion is further illustrated by the increase in volume being weigh-
scaled. In 1968, of the total sawlog production in the Prince George District, 56
per cent was weigh-scaled. In 1969 the figure rose to 67 per cent. In Nelson the
percentage rose 10 points to 60. By the end of the year the percentage had risen
to 50 in Prince Rupert and is expected to go to 80 in 1970.
FLOOD BASINS
Peace River
Clearing operations under timber sale contract and recovery of logs resulting
from clearing contracts continued at a high level during 1969—26,714,553 cubic
feet were scaled as compared to a little over 23 million feet in 1968. To December
31, 1969, a total of approximately 113 million cubic feet have been scaled out of
the Peace River pondage.
Mica
In 1968, deadline dates were set for logging of timber licence areas. This,
together with the increase in operations on the Mica Dam project itself, resulted in a
marked increase in logging operations in the Mica pondage, where 11,428,000 cubic
feet were scaled and billed in 1969, nearly double the 1968 figure.
LiBBY
Seven sales of decked logs resulting from clearing contracts were made during
the year. These sales, with production from salvage timber sales, gave a 1969 total
of 742,000 cubic feet.

REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969

GRAZING DIVISION
March 29, 1969, marked the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Grazing
Act, which made the Forest Service responsible for the administration of Crown
range, more than 80 per cent of which is forested. The Act created active control
of Crown range and resulted in the Forest Service's first step into integrated use of
forest land.
Over the last 50 years many changes in range-management techniques were
necessary, to accommodate larger numbers of live stock and ever-growing demands
for other uses of forest range land.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
The severe winter of 1968/69 resulted in feed shortages and forced some operators to reduce herds early in 1969. Fortunately, prices were relatively high.
Despite variable weather during the grazing season, range forage production was
good, except in the Okanagan and Peace River areas. A mild fall saw cattle come
off ranges in good condition. Cattle prices increased considerably but were offset
by rising production costs. Ranch labour is scarce, particularly competent range-
riders.
For the first time in many years, the number of cattle permitted on Crown
range decreased significantly, and horses and sheep are now insignificant. Administrative problems increased due to expanding land use.
Range
Range readiness for grazing developed earlier than usual in most areas. May
and June were dry, but soil moisture reserves from heavy winter snow ensured
good early production. Subsequent rainfall resulted in good yields in most areas.
Exceptions were the Okanagan Valley, where drought conditions persisted, and the
Peace River area, which suffered frost damage.
An extensive seeding project in the East Kootenay Valley, which appeared to
be a complete failure as a result of severe drought in 1967, showed modest establishment in 1969.
Water for stock was adequate and losses from toxic plants and predatory
animals were normal. Rustling on Crown range increased, particularly during the
hunting season.
Hay
Hay growth was good, but wet weather hampered operations in northern areas.
Many ranchers converted their crops to silage.
Markets and Prices
Cattle prices were higher in 1969. The weighted average price received by
cattlemen through the B.C. Livestock Producers' Co-operative Association was
$27.35 per hundredweight, compared to $22.37 in 1968, a rise of $4.98. The
export of feeder cattle to grain-producing areas for finishing was particularly heavy.
RANGE AND PASTURE MANAGEMENT
Ranges are subject to many valuable and rapidly increasing uses with which
domestic grazing must be co-ordinated. Management of Crown range has improved
over the years, but conditions are far from satisfactory on many ranges—particularly
the co-ordination of the various uses.
34 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
During 1969 numerous meetings were held with other "user" groups and
some progress toward integration of uses was made.
Promotion of improved management techniques continued with illustrated slide
talks at live-stock association meetings, field-days, and other means. The appointment of a range-extension specialist to the Department of Agriculture will help
development of improved management of all range lands, both Crown and private.
Concentrating grazing on smaller areas for short periods on a rotational basis
avoids over- and under-utilization on units containing variable range types, and is
an effective means of rehabilitating depleted range. Rotation grazing requires
costly fencing plus considerable adjustment by permittees and will be a gradual
process.
To provide increased range use, pasture-development techniques were developed in several areas. This involved control of water-levels on swamp meadows;
brush control; the clearing, breaking, and seeding of suitable upland sites; and
fertilizing previously improved pastures.
Biological control of goat-weed (Hypericum perforatum) has been achieved
and the weed is no longer an economic threat. It has taken 18 years for the introduced Chrysolina spp. beetles to establish a satisfactorily low-level equilibrium with
the plants. Attention is now being directed to other troublesome range weeds,
notably the knapweeds.
Range Surveys
The range survey programme continued with field work on the Green Lake-
North Bonaparte and the Deadman Creek Stock Ranges, and the Bedard Lake and
McLean Lake Units of the Ashcroft Stock Range. Maps and reports were completed for surveys on the Lillooet Stock Range, the Coldwater-Iron Mountain Unit
of the Nicola Stock Range, and the Joe Rich and Greystokes Units of the North
Okanagan Stock Range.
Range and Pasture Improvements
During 1969, $165,374 was spent from the Range Improvement Fund. Net
assistance to the range improvement programme from the Fund was $162,529. In
addition, $21,100 was spent on pasture development in the Peace River area from
special funds provided for this purpose.
Structural improvements included 109 miles of trail and road, 124 miles of
fencing, 17 water developments, 4 bridges or culverts, 32 cattle-guards, 7 corrals,
1 herder's cabin, 1 holding-ground, and 5 enclosures for experimental studies or
demonstration purposes. Routine maintenance was carried out on 6 buildings, 83
nvles of fence, 66 miles of trail and road, and 14 water developments within Peace
River pastures.
Nearly 600 acres of swamp meadow were ditch-drained, and beaver-control
projects were conducted in co-operation with the Fish and Wildlife Branch on seven
sites to reduce the flooding of meadows. Prescribed burns were made on 28,500
acres in the Peace River area to suppress range brush, and 50 acres were similarly
treated in the East Kootenay Valley in an effort to control bitterbrush. A total of
923 acres in various locations was cleared, broken, and seeded.
Herbicides were used on 780 acres—on 115 acres to control toxic plants and
on 665 acres of cultivated pasture to control invading brush. Fifty thousand pounds
of fertilizer were spread on 500 acres of cultivated pasture.
Range seeding was a major activity in 1969. Nearly 91,000 pounds of grass
and legume seed were used, the most to date. Some 41,000 pounds were sown on
ground denuded by logging and other industrial activity and on sites especially
cleared for seeding. Approximately 49,890 pounds of seed were sown aerially on
REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
35
12,000 acres of Crown range destroyed by wild fire. The range land-drill was used
to seed 160 acres.
A system, introduced in 1968, for recording range improvements was extended
to all grazing districts in 1969.
CO-OPERATION
Range live-stock associations provide valuable liaison with industry in the
management of grazing on Crown range. There are 67 such associations recognized
under the provisions of the Grazing Act. During 1969, 188 meetings of these
groups were attended by Forest Service officers.
Close contact was maintained with the British Columbia Beef Cattle Growers'
Association, and the British Columbia Livestock Producers' Co-operative Association supplied live stock price figures to calculate grazing fees. This producer-owned
marketing agency sold approximately 50.8 million pounds of beef animals from the
range area this year.
ADMINISTRATION
Use of Crown range for grazing was reduced in 1969, but other factors added
to the work load. An increase in competing uses of range land necessitated more
contacts with other user groups to resolve or avoid conflicts.
The issue of new grazing leases under the Land Act was discontinued in the
Kamloops, Nelson, and Prince George grazing districts. The grazing use of remaining Crown Lands is now administered under provisions of the Grazing Act, except
under special conditions. This is designed to avoid a multiplicity of tenures in range
units and to facilitate integration of uses.
A brief on the management of Crown range was submitted to the Select Standing Committee on Fisheries and Forestry.
Grazing Permits
During the year, 2,018 grazing permits were issued permitting 180,579 cattle,
5,545 horses, and 5,106 sheep on Crown ranges. There were 7,604 less cattle than
in 1968, the first significant drop in many years. The number of horses and sheep
is also down. (See Table No. 70 in the Appendix.)
The total use authorized for all classes of stock amounted to 837,405 animal-
unit-months (the equivalent of one mature cow for one month), 19,814 less than
the previous y?ar.
A total of 206 hay-cutting permits were issued for the harvesting of 2,087 tons
of hay.
Grazing Fees
Grazing fees are based on a sliding scale on prices received by producers the
previous year. Except for developed pastures in the Peace River area, grazing fees
(per head, per month) were 45 cents for cattle, 56lA cents for horses, and 11V4
cents for sheep, a slight increase over the previous year. The separate scale for
fenced and reserved pastures in the Peace River area remained at 50 cents per head
per month for cattle, 62Vi cents for horses, and 12V2 cents for sheep for natural
forage; and $1 per head per month for cattle, $1.25 for horses, and 25 cents for
sheep on cultivated pasture. The hay-cutting fee remained at $1 per ton.
Control and Enforcement
Control of Crown range poses many problems due to its extent, rugged nature,
and proximity of private property. Constant vigilance was required to prevent
unauthorized use. Numerous range inspections and stock counts were made; the
number of infractions was low; and most were promptly rectified.

ENGINEERING DIVISION
ENGINEERING SURVEYS
Field crews completed 144 miles of road location in addition to special surveys.
District engineering work included development studies in the Parsnip and
Stuart P.S.Y.U.s, access studies in the Barton Hills and Okanagan P.S.Y.U.s, Tree-
farm Licence road evaluations, road reconnaissance in conjunction with timber sale
cruising, investigation of a road route on the west side of Kootenay Lake, and a
study of log-dump sites at the north end of Kootenay Lake.
The work load connected with the acquisition of rights-of-way and other properties continued to grow during the year.
DESIGN
Designs, drawings, and specifications were prepared for pressure-creosoted timber bridges for Goat River, Kispiox River, Likely-Keithley Creek, and Black Creek-
Bosk Lake Forest Roads.
Preliminary sketches and estimates were made for bridges on the Willow River-
Cale Creek Forest Road, and for the upgrading of existing structures on the Willow
River road system to meet increased load requirements. Design work was started
on the Nass River bridge near the mouth of the Meziadin River.
MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING SECTION
Development work on 70-mm. fixed-airbase stereophotography continued, and
boom suspension and camera mounts were improved. An inventory of the floating
timber on Williston Lake was completed using this equipment.
Studies on salvage and disposal of reservoir timber are continuing.
CONSTRUCTION SECTION
Road work included completion of 7.5 miles of new grade on the Bowron River
road and reconstruction of 36 miles of existing grade on the Harrison West, Goat
River, and Elk River roads. Permanent-type timber bridges were erected over
Haggen Creek, North Thompson River, Cariboo River, Halfway River, and Goat
River.
Clearing work continued on Williston Lake. Work was concentrated in the
Parsnip River section, where 14,700 acres were treated. Non-merchantable wood
material on 5,200 acres was burned. A permanent camp for all future work was
established near Mackenzie.
Site-preparation work was started on the Canadian portion of the Libby Reservoir. Of approximately 9,000 acres of forested land requiring treatment, 3,800
acres were placed under treatment and 2,500 acres were completed. Operations
were conducted from a camp established at Waldo. Site-preparation work also
commenced on the Mica Reservoir. Camps were established at Valemount and
Bush River, from which 6,150 acres of forest land were placed under treatment.
BUILDING AND MARINE SERVICES
The long-term expansion programme of the Reforestation Division, together
with other programmes, required increased services.
In addition to general maintenance, major building construction included a
warehouse and mechanical maintenance building for the new Cariboo Forest District
38 REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
headquarters, refrigerator buildings at Campbell River and Red Rock nurseries, an
office bunkhouse building at Campbell River, and the first phase of a seedling-
sorting building at Red Rock. An experimental portable residence was constructed
and transported to one of the remote stations for evaluation.
The substitution of small, trailer-mounted, fast launches for the larger, slower,
displacement launches in the Ranger Districts has continued.
A new, fast, diesel launch was provided for transporting sealers in Prince
Rupert harbour. Jet boats and riverboats were assigned to the clearing work behind
the Mica Dam and one of the redundant Department of Highways ferries from the
Arrow Lakes was transferred to Kinbasket Lake.
Twenty-nine units of mobile accommodation were purchased, ranging from tent
trailers for project crews to large mobile homes for staff in remote regions. In
addition, 21 semi-mobile buildings were acquired for long-term occupancies. Five
refrigerated trailers were purchased for on-site storage of tree seedlings. Bunk-
houses and washcar porta-buildings for 100 men were leased for camps in the
Mica and Libby Pondage areas.
MECHANICAL SECTION
The light-vehicle inventory increased by 22, and included sedans, station-
wagons, panels, four-wheel drives (all types), and two-wheel drives up to 10,000
pounds G.V.W. The significant change in this category is the increase of 42
two-wheel drive pick-up trucks, while station-wagons, sedan deliveries, and panel
trucks dropped 23 and four-wheel drive units dropped three. Sedans increased by
six, replacing some station-wagons.
An appreciable turnover of older heavy-type trucks was effected with the purchase of 11 new units ranging from 14,000 pounds G.V.W. to 50,000 pounds
G.V.W. Four used tanker-trucks were purchased, two of which were used as fuel
trucks on engineering projects, and two converted to fire-suppression tankers for the
Nelson District.
Five rubber-tired tractors were purchased for the Reforestation Division, including one special four-wheel drive unit for the new Surrey Nursery. The Engineering Division acquired three large crawler tractors and a 200-cu.-yd.-per-hr. screening plant and an elevating scraper.
The extreme adverse winter conditions of January, 1969, increased the use of
snow toboggans and 12 new ones were purchased. Testing of muskeg transporters
continues.
FOREST SERVICE MAINTENANCE DEPOT
Modernization of the depot facilities continued with the completion of major
alterations to the main office, modification to all the shops, with the installation of
new machines and equipment acquired to help increase the efficiency of the depot.
The mechanical programme included continuing overhaul of equipment and the
purchase and testing of new equipment. The coupling of 290,000 feet of fire hose
was completed.
Twenty-three new vehicle units were fitted out to meet Forest Service requirements and 46 miscellaneous repair and fabrication jobs were completed.
Work in the machine-shop included the machining and assembly of 2,662 hose,
pump, and valve fittings, and all welding and machining required in connection with
repairs to marine, construction, and other mechanical equipment.
The marine programme included overhaul and refit work on 28 launches, four
jet boats, and 35 miscellaneous small craft. Fitting-out work was completed on 13

vessels, including the new seating boat, the Northern Scaler, for Prince Rupert, and
the launch Cherry II for the Prince George district.
The 40-foot steel tug Forest Engineer was overhauled and modified at the
depot, disassembled and trucked to Williston Lake, where it was reassembled,
launched, and underwent trials.
Carpenter-shop activities included the rebuilding and repair work to 19 trailers
and porta-buildings, together with a host of miscellaneous projects.
RADIO SECTION
The programme of improving and expanding communications continued
throughout 1969, and included the purchase of 391 radio units. Remotely controlled base stations were installed in several Ranger Districts. In the Houston,
Southbank, and Horsefly Ranger Districts, where suitable sites for remote control
were not available, F.M. repeaters were installed to increase field coverage.
On the Mica and Libby pondage-clearing projects, two additional V.H.F. frequencies were obtained to permit local communication without interfering with
Forest District networks.
At Prince George and Kamloops District Headquarters, all radio equipment
was remotely controlled.
■ The preventive-maintenance programme introduced in 1968 resulted in improved service in 1969. Two Forest Districts have furthered the programme by
providing van-type vehicles equipped with a service bench with all necessary test
equipment built in for field servicing.

PROTECTION DIVISION
WEATHER
After a cool and wet April, a ridge of high pressure developed off the Coast
during May and most of June, bringing hot, dry conditions to most of the Province.
This ridge eliminated most of the normal June rains and the fire hazard rapidly
became critical in most areas. Some rain fell late in June and major fires were
controlled.
July and August were generally cooler, but with lower precipitation in the Bella
Coola, Peace River, Lower Mainland coast, and the Southern Okanagan Valley
regions.
The first half of September was warm and dry, but rain came later to most
areas and the fire season ended on September 30th.
Lightning activity was below normal throughout the Interior districts.
FIRES
Occurrence and Causes
The summer of 1969 produced 2,318 fires, slightly more than the 10-year
average of 2,257 and 671 more than in 1968. Normally about 34 per cent of the
fires occur prior to July, but in 1969 more than half of them occurred during this
period. Lightning was the major cause of fires, but was responsible for only 28 per
cent of them—this well below 43 per cent in 1968 and the 10-year average of 37 per
cent. (See Tables 102, 103, and 104 in the Appendix.)
Cost of Fire-fighting
Suppression costs to the Forest Service averaged $2,579 per fire, compared
with $741 in 1968. The total fire-fighting cost for 1969 was $4,600,000, of which
$3,300,000 was paid by the Forest Service and $1,300,000 by other agencies. The
10-year average is $3,100,000.
Lightning fires, although only 28 per cent of the total, caused 69 per cent of the .
burned area, 32 per cent of the cost, and 71 per cent of the damage. (See Tables
106 and 110 in the Appendix.)
Damage
The 406,763 acres of forest burned were almost 53 per cent over the 10-year
average of 265,923 acres. The damage to forest cover was $6,776,020, compared
with the 10-year average of $3,512,707, the increased acreage and damage due
mainly to a number of large fires in extreme northern regions of the Province. (See
Tables 107 and 109 in the Appendix.)
FIRE-SUPPRESSION CREWS
Thirteen fire-suppression crews, ranging from 6 to 10 men each, were employed this year, one crew less than in 1968.
Initial attack crews (one to three men) were located throughout the Province
as far north as Fort Nelson, and this combined force of 100 men helped fight 361
fires. At other times the crews were employed in other essential protection duties.
4 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
AIRCRAFT
A decision by the Air Transport Committee to categorize Forest Service helicopter contracts into Class 4 made long-term contracts uneconomical, and all districts were allotted funds to hire locally available machines as required. In the
Prince Rupert, Prince George, and Kamloops Districts the system worked well, but
in the Vancouver and Nelson Districts machines were often unavailable when
required.
One helicopter accident claimed the life of an Assistant Ranger and the pilot
when a glider collided with the helicopter in mid-air near Hope.
Two contracts for fixed-wing aircraft provided three aircraft for general flying
and six light aircraft for fire-detection purposes.
Three new air tanker-types were introduced into British Columbia in 1969.
The Douglas A-26 was used in the Kamloops District in June; a Canadair C.L. 215
was demonstrated on fires in the Vancouver, Prince George, and Nelson Districts;
and a deHavilland Twin Otter made demonstration drops at several points in the
Province.
Four contracts provided eight Avenger air tankers, three Canso air tankers, and
five bird-dog aircraft. They were used on 233 targets and dropped over IVa million
gallons of chemical retardants.
ROADS AND TRAILS
A modest programme of road and trail construction, reclamation, and maintenance continued, with some 1,974 miles of road and 86 miles of trail treated.
SLASH DISPOSAL
In the Vancouver Forest District, sporadic periods of suitable slash-burning
weather in September and early October resulted in a normal number of acres being
treated. Slash reports covered 85,549 acres of logged-over land, and 51,649 were
exempted from burning. In addition to the 44,450 acres slash-burned, an additional
7,740 acres of old slash were considered abated to satisfactory levels by other means.
Burning periods were marginal in the Prince Rupert District, where a dry spring
was followed by a wet summer and fall. The Forest Service prepared 6,966 acres
and burned 1,440. Industrial operators were instructed to burn 14,918 acres, but
were able to treat only 7,626.
The summer and fall for most of the Prince George District were wetter than
the adjoining Prince Rupert District. The Forest Service burned 1,805 of a planned
8,282 acres, and industry burned 2,355 of 13,749 acres planned for such treatment.
In the Kamloops District, most burning was conducted in the Cariboo area.
High-hazard conditions in southern areas followed by quick wetting made it impossible to burn. The Forest Service treated 634 of a planned 2,616 acres, and industrial operators burned 5,301 of the 9,527 acres planned.
The Nelson District was also plagued with the sudden change from too dry to
too wet and burned only 1,447 acres. Industrial operators were required to burn
13,869 acres, but were only able to treat 3,461.
SNAG DISPOSAL
Vancouver Forest District
In the Vancouver Forest District, snags on 3,020 acres were felled—1,310
acres under contract and 1,710 by Forest Service crews.
REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969

FIRE-LAW ENFORCEMENT
Prosecutions resulted in 21 charges. Eight involved burning without a permit,
eight for refusing to render assistance in fire-fighting, and the remainder for other
offences.
FOREST-USE RESTRICTIONS
The early serious hazard situation resulted in industrial forest-use restrictions
and travel and recreation restrictions being imposed in June. Campfire permits
were suspended in all districts except Nelson. Details of restrictions follow:—

PROTECTION PLANNING AND RESEARCH
Fire Statistics
The Provincial Fire Atlas was maintained, and together with summaries and
fire files, is a valuable reference for other divisions and agencies. Fire statistics are
being coded in conjunction with the Fire Atlas.
A joint Federal-Provincial computer study, using 10-year fire and weather
data, is being developed to test and adjust the new Federal danger index system for
use by all Forest Districts in 1970.
Fuel-moisture Indicator Sticks
Fuel-moisture indicator sticks were tested at Ashcroft to determine acceptable
tolerances. Of the 1,242 sets distributed in 1969, 62 per cent went to industry,
3 per cent to the Canada Forestry Service, and 35 per cent to the British Columbia
Forest Service.
In November, 1,720 sets of sticks were manufactured at the Federal Forest
Products Laboratory in Vancouver for the 1970 fire season.
Insect Survey and Control
Liaison with other Provincial Government and Federal agencies and joint
government-industry committees was maintained.

Research Projects
Major research and development projects of 1969 were as follows:—
Fire-training Simulators.—A prototype was developed to operational standards,
and five additional models were constructed—one for each Forest District.
Handbooks.—A Forest Protection Handbook series was initiated in 1969.
Two handbooks, A Guide to Effective Use of Air Tankers for Forest
Officers and A Guide to Broadcast Burning of Logging Slash in British
Columbia have been distributed. A Handbook on Forest Fire Suppression,
Proper Care and Use of Fire Weather Instruments, and a Handbook for
Lookoutmen will be available soon.
Fire Danger Indices.—In co-operation with the Victoria Federal Research
Laboratory and the Vancouver Fire Weather Unit, special weather-recording station's were established to provide research information on the new
Federal Fire Weather and Buildup Indices. These index values were
calculated daily by computer and telexed to districts by the Fire Weather
Unit. Analysis of results is under way.
Mobile Flame-throwers.—Two more experimental flame-throwers were developed and field-tested.
Hand-tool Containers.—Pilot models of expendable cardboard containers for
axes and pulaskis were developed and sent to districts for field-testing.
They hold four of each type of tool, and were designed for easy transportation and increased safety.
Emergency Rations.—Preparation of two-man, two-day, fire-ration packs was
standardized, and 240 were distributed to districts.
Lake-water Analysis.—Water samples from 42 major lakes in the Province
were tested to evaluate their pH, hardness, and mixing properties with
gelgard fire retardant to determine the best mix for amphibious air tankers.
Ignition Device.—An economical hand-thrown ignition device was tested for
use with the standard drip torch.
Equipment and product evaluation and testing continued on a variety of protection equipment.
Liaison continued with other agencies in areas of mutual interest. These
included pest control, meteorology, fire protection, fire-danger indices, fire
statistics; and representation on various protection subcommittees of the
National Research Council and on the Rehabilitation Committee of the
Forest Service.

The market declined steadily for the balance of the year, but the early-period
highs resulted in a new record for Forest Service revenue. Contributing factors, in
addition to stumpage revenue, were the 11-per-cent increase in timber scaled, an
increase in royalties and we:ght-scaling collections.
By the end of 1969 the declined market levelled off, with no significant improvement expected until economic conditions improved in major market areas.
Amounts charged against logging operations increased by 59.1 per cent (over
1968) to $92,363,938 (Appendix, Table 142).
The largest gain of 109.6 per cent was recorded in the Nelson Forest District;
followed by Prince George (99.4 per cent), Kamloops (92.1 per cent), Vancouver
(34.5 per cent), and Prince Rupert (17.9 per cent).
Direct forest revenue in 1969 was up 66.2 per cent for a total of $89,479,313
(Appendix, Table 141). Timber-sale stumpage contributed $78,293,115, up 76.3
per cent from 1968. Timber-sale rentals and fees, together with timber-sale cruising
and advertising, dropped 1.9 per cent and 14.7 per cent respectively, as the absorption of timber sales into timber-sale harvesting licences continued.
Timber royalties increased 27.7 per cent to $6,329,417, as operators attempting to avoid high stumpage rates apparently turned to cutting where only royalties
applied.
Timber-licence rentals and fees, and timber-lease rentals and fees, recorded
identical increases of 3.9 per cent, probably due to some late payments from 1968.
Timber-berth rentals and fees declined 9.1 per cent as logged areas were eliminated.
Grazing permits and fees gained 9.6 per cent after a small increase in fees.
Forest-protection tax was up 4.8 per cent, again possibly including payments due in
1968. Miscellaneous collections declined 9.5 per cent and weight-scaling payments
rose 62.5 per cent to $1,033,160. Weight-scaling is becoming an increasingly
acceptable form of scale by industry.
Financial tables (Appendix, Tables 143 to 145) cover operations on a 1968/69
fiscal-year basis. Detailed expenditure information is published annually by the
Department of Finance in the Public Accounts.
ADMINISTRATION
The heavier-than-average fire season, expansion of the reforestation programme, and increased pondage-clearing projects kept expenditure accounting at a
high level. The increase in personnel to be paid, and changes in the Unemployment
Insurance regulations gave special problems to the payroll section.
Timber-sale accounting increased. The surrender of timber sales for inclusion
in timber-sale harvesting licences accelerated and became a major activity of the
timber-sale accounting section. Fluctuating market conditions caused frequent
changes in stumpage rates and resulted in a record number of adjustments to licence
records and notices to licensees.
48 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
The revenue section work load was also affected by the inclusion of timber sales
in timber-sale harvesting areas, through frequent refunds and adjustments of carrying charges.
Accounts receivable were reasonably current until late in the year. " Tight-
money " conditions severely affected some operators, who reported credit from
normal sources was being drastically curtailed due to anti-inflationary policies. It
appears there will be no easing of the situation for some time.
Reduction of marine hazards by removal of drift logs continued, with 23,739,-
928 board feet (down 5,000,000 feet board measure from 1968) marketed through
Gulf Log Salvage Co-operative Association (licensee of the log receiving station).
Low floating logs and deadheads recovered by permittees increased approximately
3,500,000 to 9,500,000 board feet. Low-grade logs recovered remained at approximately 5,000,000 board feet.
Log clearance from beaches continued with the sale of six licences on the
Queen Charlotte Islands, where 290,000 cubic feet were removed, and six licences
on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, from which 235,000 cube feet were
" harvested."
In the Interior districts, two licences were sold—one on Stuart Lake, which
has produced 22,392 cubic feet; and one for a log jam on the Lardeau River, from
which no logs have yet been removed.
The Division is co-operating with a Log Security Committee, established by
the forest industry, to study ways to prevent escape and loss of towed and stored
logs.
Export of logs controlled under Part X of the Forest Act varied considerably
during the year. With log stocks low early in the year and high in latter months,
76 per cent of " non-exportable " logs, approved for export, left the Province in the
last three months of the year. Log Export Advisory Committee continues to provide effective control of log surpluses.
REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
49
PERSONNEL DIVISION
On July 31st, F. S. McKinnon retired as Deputy Minister of Forests and
assumed duties as full-time chairman of the Pollution Control Board. J. S. Stokes
was appointed Deputy Minister of Forests, and N. A. McRae was appointed
Assistant Chief Forester. W. Young was appointed District Forester for the Prince
George Forest District.
Under the new organization, the Deputy Minister, Chief Forester, and the two
Assistant Chief Foresters form an executive committee to determine Forest Service
policy. Some changes in organization resulted in a more equitable distribution of
supervision at the executive level. Expansion continued in the Reforestation Division with the addition of eight new professional Foresters.
In employee relations, the Chief Forester and Personnel Officer met with
representatives of various employee groups to discuss matters related to overtime
regulations. A general salary increase for all employees (effective April 1st) caused
some pay anomalies, most of which were resolved by the end of the year.
COMMUNICATIONS AND TRAINING
No formal meeting of District Foresters was held in Victoria, but District Foresters and Assistant District Foresters spent a week discussing specific problems
with various headquarters divisions concerned. Ranger meetings were held in the
Vancouver and Nelson Forest Districts, with local or zone meetings held in the
Kamloops, Prince George, and Prince Rupert Districts. A bi-annual meeting of
Protection Officers was held at Victoria, and District Reforestation Officers met
with the Reforestation Division to discuss mutual problems. District Mechanical
Supervisors met with the headquarters staff, and a one-day training meeting was held
with District Foresters in attendance to discuss the extent and scope of a proposed
service-wide training programme.
The Personnel Officer and Assistant Personnel Officer took part in vocation-
day programmes, as did other Forest Officers throughout the Province. Various
seminars were attended by several staff at the senior and middle management levels.
Three Foresters, one Engineer, and one Technical Forest Officer were selected for
Class XIV of the Public Administration Course under the Executive Development
Training Programme, and two employees, both Engineers, graduated from Class XI
of this programme.
Four employees were selected for Class VI of the Correspondence Course in
Basic Public Administration and four employees graduated from Class V of this
course. Informal training continued for junior Foresters and junior Engineers and
the District Training Officers set up some formal training programmes for District
field staff.
ESTABLISHMENT, RECRUITMENT, AND STAFF TURNOVER
The permanent establishment of the Forest Service was increased from 884 to
906, with the addition of eight Forester positions, nine clerical positions, two mapping assistants, one Technical Forest Officer, one Draughtsman, and one Programmer Analyst. During the year, 153 persons received Civil Service appointments and
152 left the Service. Seven Forest Service 25-year certificates and badges were
earned. Eight employees were guests of the Provincial Executive Council at a
luncheon, where four were awarded certificates for 25 years' continuous Government
50 REPORT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES
service and four others were awarded gold watches in recognition of 40 years' service
with the Provincial Government.
There were 19 retirements and 57 transfers of permanent staff. Fourteen
graduate Foresters and five graduate Engineers left the service, while 13 graduate
Foresters and six graduate Engineers were hired.
Turnover of Civil Service appointed staff, including full-time casual staff, was
12.3 per cent—compared with 10.9 per cent in 1968. Prince Rupert again suffered
the greatest disruption at 24.1 per cent, followed by Vancouver Scaling, Kamloops,
and Prince George with 15.3 per cent, 14.3 per cent, and 12.7 per cent respectively.
Victoria headquarters and Vancouver had 9.9 per cent and 9.6 per cent, while
Nelson was lowest with a 5.9-per-cent turnover.
Professional staff turnover increased to 6.6 per cent from 4.6 per cent in 1968,
as did the technical staff at 7.7 per cent, compared to 5.3 per cent in 1968. Highest
turnover was in the clerical group at 20.0 per cent, with figures ranging from 38.5
per cent for Prince Rupert District to 11.4 per cent for Nelson.
In discipline, two permanent employees were suspended with the intent to
dismiss, but both resigned. One permanent employee was demoted to a lesser
position, more in keeping with his capabilities, and one temporary employee was
dismissed.
A number of disciplinary suspensions were imposed for breaches in safety
regulations and failure to properly complete assignments, and two of these employees
were warned a repetition would result in a dismissal. Two employees had annual
merit increases withheld.
There were 1,039 written applications for employment received and processed
by the Personnel office in addition to those handled by District and Divisional staff.
Promotional examinations were held by the Civil Service Commission for
Draughtsmen and Mapping Assistants to the advantage of a number of our staff.
Written examinations were held for one competition and oral examinations were
held at panel interviews to fill 52 positions. The Personnel Officer and the Assistant
Personnel Officer participated in filling 153 other positions. A total of 420 candidates sat for the annual Technical Forest Officer 1 examination and 121 qualified
for 14 vacancies. At the same time, 108 candidates wrote an examination for
Technical Forest Officer 2, of which 43 qualified. Two employees in the service
branch wrote an examination for Technical Forest Officer 3 and both qualified.
Forty-eight employees completed the basic-training course at the Forest Service
Training-school.
CLASSIFICATIONS, SALARIES, AND WORKING CONDITIONS
Classification reviews were requested for 41 positions. By year's end 24 had
been approved, five rejected, and 12 were still under discussion. An organizational
review was conducted on the administrative office in the Vancouver Forest District,
with some improvement in work flow and distribution of duties indicated.
Seven employees were registered as Professional Foresters, and one graduate
Engineer became registered. General working conditions were unchanged, but
there were changes in the overtime regulations affecting the Department. The subject
is still under review to standardize implementation.
A total of 379 accidental injuries suffered by employees, of which 82 were to
temporary fire-fighters and 29 to temporary tree planters and cone collectors. Of
the 268 for the regular staff, 86 were time-loss and 182 required medical aid only.
REPORT OF THE FOREST SERVICE, 1969
51
Our time-loss frequency was 16.8 per million man-hours worked, a considerable increase over 9.9 for 1968. Time-loss accidents for regular staff were 32 per
cent of the total accidents for this group as compared with 19.4 per cent in 1968.
Six British Columbia Safety Council awards of merit were earned by various
groups in the Service, the most notable of which was the silver award to the Kamloops Forest District, which also qualified for the Prime Minister's safety award.
There were two fatal accidents in the Forest Service during 1969.
