It was a year when the province enjoyed a record timber harvest, more than 76 million cubic metres (m^) — about one million cubic metres more than the previous record set in 1978. It was a year when forest and range revenues to the province exceeded $450 million, more than the combined revenues of the previous four years. For many forest product companies, 1979 was also a year of record sales and earnings from near record production of the province's main forest products. Domestic and foreign demand for most of the province's forest products remained strong throughout 1979. Because of the lower value of the Canadian dollar, Canadian forest products were very competitive in world markets. While the performance of the forest industry in 1980 may not match that of 1979, it should still be satisfactory. Demand for lumber is expected to decline due to reduced residential construction activity in the United States, but the demand for other products, such as pulp and newsprint, is expected to continue at present high levels. The favourable longer term prospects for the provincial industry are reflected in the more than $1 billion of capital and repair expenditures made by the industry in 1979 to equip and modernize its plants. Provincial revenues from range use also rose significantly from $560,000 in 1978 to $780,000 in 1979. This increase is due to a new system of assessing charges rather than real growth in the ranching industry. However, with higher prices for beef, range use did increase to more than 900 000 animal unit months (AUM's). For the Ministry of Forests, 1979 was an extremely busy year. It was the year when new legislation, the Forest Act, the Range Act and the Ministry of Forests Act, gave new directions for managing the province's forest and range resources. Under its new mandate, the ministry submitted to the provincial cabinet three reports, Forest and Range Resource Analysis Report, Forest and Range Resource Analysis Technical Report, and Five-Year Forest and Range Resource Program, which examine the province's forest and range resources and set forth a program to maintain and enhance these resources. These reports will be presented to the Legislative Assembly in 1980. The growing recognition of the importance of the forest resource to the province is also apparent in the rapid increase in provincial expenditures on silviculture over the past several years. In addition, the federal government and the Province of British Columbia signed an agreement in May 1979 to jointly fund a $50 million, five year intensive forest management program to be administered by the ministry. In Victoria and in all six forest regions, 1979 was a year for reorganizing the ministry. It was greatly streamlined and decentralized to permit a more efficient and effective working structure to carry out its new mandate. A major part of the ministry reorganization has already taken place. The remainder will be completed in 1980. The Ministry of Forests Act requires the Annual Report to present a comprehensive review and assessment of the ministry's forest and range programs. Since the first five year resource program does not become operational until April 1, 1980, such an evaluation is not possible in this year's Annual Report. The format of the Annual Report will change when the legislative requirements of the new Act can be met. The ministry published several White Papers in 1979 to promote discussion on a variety of forestry and forestry- related subjects. The numerous responses to them indicated a great deal of public interest in the ministry's programs. We will continue to publish such discussion papers before major ministry policies or programs are formalized, to allow all interested parties to participate in their formulation. In closing, I am pleased to say that, with the new legislation and a revitalized working structure, I am looking forward to 1980 and the years beyond when British Columbia and the Ministry of Forests will continue their leadership roles in the field of forest and range resource management. T. M. Apsey, Deputy Minister. March, 1980 An Introduction The year 1979 will be remembered as a year of change. On January 1, 1979, three new Acts — the Forest Act, Range Act and Ministry of Forests Act — were proclaimed. They replaced the much-amended Forest Act of 1912 and Grazing Act of 1919 with a new administrative system. The Ministry of Forests Act elevated the Forest Service to a full ministry. The new Acts are designed to provide incentives to those companies or individuals who practise good forest management and to penalize those who do not. To fulfill its new role, the ministry is restructuring both in the field and headquarters. These changes are intended to decentralize decision-making authority and to strengthen central support services. The Ministry of Forests Act This Act assigns all of the duties and powers relating to forest and range resources to the Ministry of Forests except those which are specifically assigned to other government agencies. The purposes and functions of the ministry are stated clearly in Section 5. "The purposes and functions of the ministry are, under the direction of the minister, (a) to encourage the attainment of maximum productivity of the forest and range resources in the Province, (b) to manage, protect and conserve the forest and range resources of the Crown, having regard to the immediate and long term economic and social benefits they may confer on the Province, (c) to plan the use of the forest and range resources of the Crown, so that the production of timber and forage, the harvesting of timber, the grazing of livestock and the realization of fisheries, wildlife, water, outdoor recreation and other natural resource values are coordinated and integrated, in consultation and cooperation with other ministries and agencies of the Crown and with the private sector, (d) to encourage a vigorous, efficient and world- competitive timber processing industry in the Province, and (e) to assert the financial interest of the Crown in its forest and range resources in a systematic and equitable manner." In addition, the Act requires the ministry to review the province's forest and range resources and to assess the effects of current management practices. In September 1979, the first Forest and Range Resource Analysis Report and Forest and Range Resource Analysis Technical Report were submitted to the provincial cabinet. These reports contain a description of all forest and range resources in the province and their current condition. In addition, they provide a summary of relevant economic trends which affect these resources. Within this perspective, the reports evaluate current ministry programs and their effects on the related industries and other government programs. At the same time the ministry also submitted to the provincial cabinet a Five-Year Forest and Range Resource Program. This report outlines a management strategy for the provincial forest, range and recreation resources. The Act further requires the ministry's Annual Report to present an assessment of the effectiveness of the ministry programs. The Forest Act Through a new system of licences and permits, the Act defines a partnership of public and private responsibility in forest management. It enunciates the rights and obligations of forest managers and encourages the full and balanced use of British Columbia's timber resources. It reaffirms the policy of multiple use of forest land. Some other specific items which the Act provides for are: • the creation of provincial forests to provide security for investments in forest management; • the consideration of social and economic factors as well as biological ones in the calculation of the allowable annual cut; • the protection of small, independent businesses and local manufacturers; • the establishment of an appeal procedure. The Range Act The Range Act is designed to promote a cooperative approach to range management. The rancher is offered long- term licences in return for participation in multiple use programs on his private land and adjacent Crown lands. Grazing leases which are presently administered by the Land Management Branch of the Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing, are being phased over to licences and permits under the Range Act. The Structure of the Ministry While the three Acts define the decision-making authority, the efficiency with which the decisions are reached depends upon the functional structure of the ministry. The prime goal of the reorganization is to decentralize administrative authority while maintaining centralized support services. The district, region and headquarters staffs are working together to decentralize all practical decision-making. The ministry headquarters staff define policy and provide overall guidance. They also advise the deputy minister and consequently the minister and cabinet on all matters relating to forest and range policy. Headquarters Organization As shown in the organization chart on page 15, the ministry headquarters staff is organized into the following four divisions: • Forestry • Timber, Range and Recreation • Finance and Administration • Operations Each of the four divisions is headed by an assistant deputy minister who reports to the deputy minister. These four officials, together with the deputy minister, constitute the ministry's executive. In addition to the four assistant deputy ministers, the directors of the Information Services Branch and the Strategic Studies Branch report directly to the deputy minister. The functions of each division are summarized below. The Forestry Division ensures that all Crown forest and range lands are managed to provide the greatest long-term benefits for British Columbia. The assistant deputy minister of this division is also the chief forester. The Forestry Division maintains a comprehensive inventory of all the province's forest and range resources and assesses the lands involved in terms of their present and potential uses. The division comprises the following five branches: • Planning • Inventory • Research • Silviculture • Protection The Timber, Range and Recreation Division is responsible for formulating comprehensive range and resource management policies and regulations. It advises the executive on all matters involving engineering and valuation activities, along with the various programs conducted by its branches. The division is composed of the following five branches: • Range Management • Timber Management • Recreation Management • Valuation • Engineering " The Finance and Administration Division is responsible for advising the deputy minister and the executive in all administrative matters and developing policies and procedures pertaining to general administration. The division is composed of the following five branches: • Personnel Services • Financial Services • Systems Services • Legal and Administrative Services • Technical Services The Operations Division is responsible for ensuring that the ministry's policies, procedures and programs are promptly and effectively implemented in the province's six forest regions and 46 districts. The Assistant Deputy Minister of Operations functions as the deputy minister's immediate assistant in administering and coordinating all field operations. The six forest regions are: • Cariboo • Kamloops • Nelson • Prince George • Prince Rupert • Vancouver Forest Region Organization For administrative purposes, the province has been divided into six forest regions. Each is administered from its own regional office. This office is under the direction of a regional manager, who is also responsible for the district managers who administer forest districts, subdivisions of the regions. The internal organization of each regional office, shown on pages 16 and 17, is analogous to that of ministry headquarters. Three regional staff managers, like the assistant deputy ministers, provide advice and services to the regional manager and the various district managers and field personnel. Regional office personnel are responsible for servicing, coordinating and monitoring the activities of all field personnel operating out of the various district offices throughout the region. The staff of each regional office has the dual task of ensuring that all policies, procedures and programs originating from ministry headquarters are administered consistently and effectively throughout the region and of developing regional plans and programs.

RANGE OFFICER ENGINEERING OFFICER SILVICULTURE OFFICER INVENTORY OFFICER PROTECTION OFFICER PLANNING OFFICER FOREST RESEARCH OFFICER Information Services Information Services Branch advises and assists the deputy minister, the executive, branch directors and regional managers in all communications matters, including public relations, schools, press and other media. It also has the responsibility for facilitating effective internal communications throughout the ministry itself. In 1979, the branch disseminated information about the new forest legislation and the ministry reorganization: • The branch prepared Update bulletins and a Reorganizaton Handbook for ministry employees to keep them informed of the reorganization. Another publication, Blueprint for Action, has been prepared and will be distributed early in 1980. • The information officers in all six forest region offices made an extra effort to keep the public and ministry field staff informed about the new legislation and the ministry reorganization. Other Branch activities in 1979 included: • The preparation of two new teacher guides on forest topics for use in the province's school system. These were prepared in cooperation with the Western Education Group of the University of British Columbia. • A study to evaluate forest education materials currently in use in the province. This was a cooperative effort by the ministry, the Council of Forest Industries of British Columbia, and the International Woodworkers of America. Results of the study are scheduled for release in 1980. • The production of a new film, "Chewers of Wood", which is about the mountain pine beetle problem in the East Kootenay area. This film is scheduled for release early 1980. • A survey of reader reaction to the ministry's resource magazine ForesTalk. Current editorial policy is endorsed but readers would like an increased intellectual level in the articles. • The development of a new library system which resulted in a major increase in borrowing. • The provision of assistance to other branches and regions of the ministry in planning, editing, designing and publishing a wide variety of print materials including White Papers and technical publications. Strategic Studies The Strategic Studies Branch advises the deputy minister on forest and range resource policies and programs, the economics of the forest and ranching industries, issues affecting national and international trade negotiations and the interactions between ministry programs and those of other government agencies. In addition, responsibility for the forest and range resource analysis and fiveiyear program reports required by the Ministry of Forests Act has been transferred to the branch. Responsibility for the reports submitted to the provincial cabinet in September 1979 rested with the Planning Branch but Strategic Studies Branch staff were involved in their preparation. As part of its continuing work in helping to develop positive forestry programs, the branch published a dis- ■ A * cussion paper, Incen- ■ lives for Intensive Forest Management to solicit opinion from interested parties regarding this topic. The branch also contributed to the drafting of other ministry discussion papers. The branch continued its role as ministry representative on a number of inter-agency committees affecting resource management. A notable achievement was the assistance given in negotiating the federal/provincial agreement to fund a $50 million, five year intensive forest management program. Another major part of the branch inter-agency responsibility is associated with Environment and Land Use Committee projects. This includes projects such as the study of the environmental impacts of log handling in estuaries, the conflicts between caribou management and logging in the North Thompson area and the environmental impacts of major development projects on forest lands. " Planning The Planning Branch is responsible for developing comprehensive provincial plans and planning systems for managing Crown forest and range lands in accordance with the Ministry of Forests Act, the Forest Act and the Range Act and for coordinating all ministry resource use programs with those administered by other ministries. In 1979, implementation of the new forest legislation continued to dominate the branch's activities. Major branch programs were: completion and presentation of the Forest and Range Resource Analysis Report, Forest and Range Resource Analysis Technical Report, and Five-Year Forest and Range Resource Program to cabinet; determination of forest harvesting rates for Timber Supply Areas; review of Tree Farm Licence inventory, planning and yield calculation procedures; and implementation of a program to establish additional provincial forests. The resource analyses and program reports were prepared under the leadership of the branch by a task force composed of representatives from a number of branches. The task force consulted with ministry staff as well as with other agencies to determine appropriate programs in forest and range management. The reports were presented to the provincial cabinet on September 30, 1979. The branch analyzes inventory data to determine short- term and long-term timber supply targets for Timber Supply Areas (TSA's). The boundaries for the TSA's were established early in the year. Headquarters and forest region staff were trained to use the new Production Forecast Method of yield calculations and have assembled and processed data for individual Timber Supply Areas. Analyses have been completed for about one-third of the province and much of the data has been assembled for the remainder. In conjunction with this work, the branch continued to improve upon the ministry's capability to predict future timber yields. The computer programs that have been developed are constantly being refined. In consultation with Tree Farm Licence foresters, the branch initiated a review of allowable annual cut and forest inventory procedures. The objective is to ensure compatability of allowable cut calculations and inventory estimates between those made on Tree Farm Licences and those on other Crown forest lands. As part of the general reorganization of the ministry, the branch has been restructured to achieve the objectives of the new forest legislation. New positions have been established to provide leadership in development of the ministry's multiple resource use planning systems, yield analysis methods and public involvement procedures. 'ft s The Inventory Branch provides the detailed forest and range maps and statistics necessary for the management of the forest resource and for the determination of the rate of timber harvest in the province. In 1979, the branch commenced major inventories of six Timber Supply Areas: Quadra, North Coast, Prince George, Williams Lake, Okanagan and Cranbrook. As with last year's inventory, this year's work used the multi-phase sampling technique. This procedure details more characteristics and enhances the analytical potential of inventory data. Other specific activities in 1979 included: • growth and yield measurement of natural stands, mostly in the lower coast area; • field studies to refine tree volume measurement techniques; • forest depletion measurement and history updating of more than 400 logged-over areas throughout the province; • tree decay studies undertaken in all forest regions; • tree measurements in the field to verify volume equations used for tree and stand growth calculations; • establishment of more than 100 plots in all forest regions except the Vancouver Forest Region to measure growth and yield of trees and stands under the special conditions of the Intensive Forestry Program; • the continued monitoring, on Vancouver Island, of more than 250 plots specifically related to the Managed Stand Yield Program. All map related resource inventory data from 1979 field work, together with the branch's entire map related data base, consisting of over 7 000 forest cover maps and related statistics, are in the process of being entered into the Interactive Graphics Design System (IGDS). This computerized mapping system has been designed to facilitate inventory data retrieval and analysis. IGDS was installed in 1978 and since then, the branch has been entering data into the system's data base. A progress report of data loading is shown in Table E.5. r Research The Research Branch provides research and development services required to support the ministry's forest and range programs. The reorganization of the ministry increasec the number of professional staff positions in the branch. Current emphasis is on silviculture, tree physiology, tree improvement, ecology and earth sciences. In 1979, the branch initiated additional investigations on forest resource problems associated with wildlife habitat, range fertilization and erosion control. Major activities in 1979 included: • on-site studies to assess the effectiveness of pre- commercial thinning treatment and different fertilization regimes in stands of lodgepole pine; • field studies to gather and verify data for the development of a computerized growth model for lodgepole pine; • tests in ministry nurseries to improve seed germination and to enhance seedling growth, quality and survival; • field sampling to classify vegetation and soils. The field sampling in all forest regions is part of the branch's Ecological Classification Program. The results of this program will help forest managers predict the vegetative and soil responses to different management regimes; • soil erosion control programs to assess the effectiveness of different grass-legume mixtures and shrub species for soil stabilization; • the development of land and propagation facilities at the Cowichan Lake Research Station on Vancouver Island to establish master clone banks and gene archives. Each year, the branch publishes the results of its experiments and field studies in the Forest Research Review. Silviculture The Silviculture Branch is responsible for establishing and monitoring a province wide silvicultural program to ensure that all Crown forest lands are managed as productively as possible. The ministry's silvicultural program consists of a variety of activities and, in 1979, considerable progress was made in reaching new levels of achievement. Activities included: • Tree plantings in 1979 by the ministry and licensees amounted to more than 63 million trees and covered about 58 500 hectares. The total forest area which received some form of stand tending, stand improvement, or site preparation treatment also increased over that completed in 1978. The details of these activities are presented in Tables A. 1 to A.5. • The fertilization program in the Vancouver Forest Region merits special mention. In 1979, more than 9 000 hectares (7 200 by the ministry and 1 800 by licensees) of forest land in this region were fertilized. The ministry made significant progress towards its target of fertilizing 20 000 hectares of forest land in the region by 1980. • The ministry's tree nursery program in 1979 achieved its target of sowing 100 million seeds. An expansion program was initiated in the forest regions to significantly increase cold storage capacities to accommodate the increased seedling production. • Seed production from cone collections expanded sharply in 1979 as a result of a bumper cone crop in the Interior and a good crop along the Coast. The volume of cone collections far exceeded the processing capacity of the plant at Duncan and contracts were awarded to three commercial processors. Seed production from coastal seed orchards also expanded significantly in the year. Three new seed orchards were established in the Interior and, under the newly created government/industry Tree Improvement Council, 18 new seed orchards are being planned for the Coast. Some of the details of the seed production programs are listed in Table B. 1 to Table B.7. • The ministry's commitment to an intensified reforestation program throughout the province brought about a major change in ministry policy regarding tree seedling production. Until now, ministry nurseries have been almost the only source of seedlings for reforestation on Crown forest lands. In the future, participation by private nurseries, particularly licensees' nurseries, will augment the supply of seedlings. Protection The Protection Branch has the responsibility to minimize timber losses from fire, insects and disease. It is also responsible for developing and applying new equipment and techniques for fire and pest control. Fire Management The 1979 fire season was the second worst in the province's history, with nearly 4 000 forest fires recorded. Forest fire danger levels peaked in late July but, because of dry weather conditions, the fire season was extended to the end of October. Despite the near record number of forest fires, the total area of forest cover burned, about 30 000 hectares, was much less than previous annual losses. Details of causes of forest fires, areas burned, fire-fighting costs and damages are presented in Tables C. 1 to C. 10. The branch's Aerial Tanker Organization is responsible for much of the success of last year's forest fire control progam. The branch, however, is not content with increasing its fire- fighting effectiveness simply by the experience of another season of fighting fires. Computer simulation models are being used to analyze the effectiveness of different fire- fighting techniques. Through such efforts, the branch hopes to enhance its effectiveness in forest fire control. Fire prevention activities undertaken in 1979 included the production and distribution of posters, information brochures and bumper stickers for the public. The branch also placed articles and advertisements on fire prevention in local newspapers and on radio and television. The prescribed burning program was continued to reduce the risk of fire on areas containing dangerous amounts of combustible material such as slash, snags and blowdowns, to prepare sites for planting and to rehabilitate lands for forage and browse production. A booklet on forest protection is now under preparation to inform the public of current practices and possible future trends in both fire management and pest management. Pest Management It has been estimated that damage to trees from insects and disease in British Columbia results in a loss of more than 16 million cubic metres of timber each year. About half of this loss is attributable to tree decay in mature and overmature stands. In 1979, the branch's attention was turned towards the mountain pine beetle and the spruce beetle because of the damage they were causing the province's forest resource. The branch directed harvesting operations to remove threatened and killed trees while the trees still contained merchantable wood. An estimated 79 000 hectares of pine forest have already been killed and the area threatened is many times greater. Timber salvage operations in the Nelson and Cariboo Forest Regions — the areas of the severest attack — are expected to increase in 1980. The spruce beetle is present in the Prince George, Interior Prince Rupert, Nelson and Kamloops Forest Regions. The threat of the beetle attacks has caused operators to change harvesting plans. Through harvesting and the use of trap trees, a vigorous effort is being made to contain the spruce beetle. The Protection Branch, in cooperation with the Forest Insect and Disease Survey Unit of the Canadian Forestry Service, continues to monitor the presence of and the damage done by forest insects and diseases. Where possible, the branch undertakes remedial measures to deal with some of them: • Mistletoe: clauses to prevent the spread of mistletoe into young stands are included in cutting permits where applicable; • Western budworm: the 1978 budworm trials were reexamined and plans made for futher work in 1980; • Cone and seed insects: test work was carried out to control cone and seed insects; • European pine shoot moth: survey and control measures were taken to eliminate the European pine shoot moth in the Okanagan. v J Range Management The Range Management Branch is responsible for managing and conserving the province's rangelands. In 1979, the first year of the Range Act, the branch implemented some of the regulations and administrative procedures required by the new Range Act. Among the branch's achievements in 1979 were: • the establishment of new fee and rent charges for grazing rights and hay production; • the initiation of the changeover to the new grazing licences in all forest regions; • the assignment of range resource officers to district offices to provide closer industry contacts at the field level; • the commencement of range inventory activity; • the initiation of a program to convert expiring grazing leases, presently under the administration of the Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing, to grazing licences under the administration of the Ministry of Forests. The branch, through its Coordinated Resource Management Program (CRMP) planned 37 new range units in addition to its annual review of approximately one hundred previously planned areas. These new plans cover more than 1.5 million hectares, mostly in the Cariboo, Kamloops and Nelson Forest Regions. More than $3 million of Agriculture and Rural Development Subsidiary Agreement (ARDSA) funds were spent on approved developments within the planned areas. Other branch achievements in 1979 include the continuation of the Knapweed Containment Program. Knapweed is especially prevalent in _•_—r the Nelson, Kamloops and Cariboo Forest Regions. Other branch activities are detailed in Table F.l. Timber Management The Timber Management Branch develops policies and administers programs concerning timber tenures, timber allocation, timber harvesting and the granting of rights to harvest Crown timber. As a result of the new Forest Act, the branch is developing new administration and regulatory procedures and communicating them to the forest industry. Among the more prominent accomplishments of 1979 were: • the development of the Tree Farm Licence agreement which has been in use since May 1979 and the proposed wording of the other required forms of agreements; • the establishment of policies and administrative procedures for the licensing of mills; • the establishment of rentals based on allowable annual cut or on area, if not regulated by allowable annual cut; • the implementation of a Small Business Program Enterprise Program which allows small businesses to play a more important role in the provincial forest industry; • in conjunction with the Valuation and Systems Services Branches, the development of the Harvest Data Base System to store, sort and retrieve provincial scale data efficiently. In addition, the branch published several discussion papers in 1979 to solicit public comment on specific aspects of the Forest Act. The discussion papers included: • Draft Regulation Governing the Contractor Clause Requirement Differences existed in the recommendations of the two committees appointed to study ways in which contractors could be involved in the logging activities of licensees. The branch wrote a discussion paper on what it felt was the best compromise. The purpose of the paper was to obtain additional views from concerned parties before the regulations and policies were put into practice. • The Small Business Program The paper was issued to obtain additional views of concerned parties before ministry policy and regulations affecting small businesses were established. • Policies and Procedures Concerning the Issuance of Woodlot Licences The objective of the Woodlot Licence Program is to promote small scale forestry in the province. It makes provincial forest lands available to small enterprises and the owners of small parcels of forest land who will manage these lands and will engage in silviculture and forest protection activities. The response to the discussion paper has been good and the Woodlot Licence Program will be instituted in 1980. The 1979 provincial scale was more than 76 million cubic metres, a year of record harvest in British Columbia. Details of the provincial harvest are presented in Tables D. 1 to D.6. Recreation Management Since its inception in 1971, the Ministry of Forests recrea tion program has grown steadily. In 1979, the program was transferred from the Planning Branch to the newly established Recreation Management Branch. The branch plans and provides a variety of forest recreation opportunities while protecting the environmental and aesthetic values of the province's forest and range lands. During the year the branch undertook a program to familiarize ministry staff with changes in the recreation components of the Forest Act and the Ministry of Forests Act. Another important function was to provide input to forest and range land use plans, particularly those which affect recreation and landscape values. The branch helped to complete the first five year provincial Recreation Analysis and Program. It also distributed the new Recreation Manual which provides provincial guidelines for recreation management and commenced the preparation of a new Forest Landscape Handbook. The branch carried out several surveys, including preliminary attempts at user questionnaires to ascertain provincial recreation needs and demands. Two new recreation map brochures were produced, bringing the total now available to 36 brochures. A winter recreation program emphasizing snowmobiling and cross-country skiing was further developed. Public use of ministry recreation sites continued at a high level in 1979. Details are listed in Table G. 1. Valuation The Valuation Branch is responsible for ensuring that the Crown receives a fair and equitable financial return from the sale of timber to industry. The branch is also responsible for reviewing all applications for the export of unmanufactured forest products from the province. The activities of the Valuation Branch in the past year were significantly affected by the new Forest Act and several of the regulations issued under it. • The scaling regulation which specifies that all timber must be scaled in metric units became effective on January 1,1979. The transition to the new system was completed without disruption as the scalers adjusted rapidly, following a period of intensive training in the regions. During 1979, the ministry and industry also started to cruise timber scheduled for harvesting in metric units. • The branch developed policies and guidelines for the granting of credits against stumpage payable, as provided by Section 88 of the Forest Act. • The branch prepared a discussion paper Log Salvage in the Vancouver Log Salvage District, to solicit comment from interested parties on the proposed new log salvage regulations. This paper will be published in early 1980. In cooperation with the Timber Management Branch and Systems Services Branch, the Valuation Branch continued to participate in the development of the Billing and Harvest Data Base System. During 1979, the branch devoted considerable energy to the processing of applications for the export of unprocessed forest products from the province. Details of log exports are presented in Hr -J Table H.2. :>"" Engineering The Engineering Branch is responsible for surveying, designing, constructing and maintaining forest roads and structures. The branch also has the responsibility of negotiating the acquisition of road rights-of-way and other major land purchases by the ministry for such purposes as nurseries and seed orchards. In order to carry out many of these functions, the branch provides advice and assistance to staff in the forest regions or in other headquarters branches. Some of the significant engineering activities undertaken by the ministry in 1979 include: • the reconstruction of sections of the Morice River Forest Road; • the completion of a bridge across the Fraser River on the Walker Creek Forest Road; • a resource road survey in the Prince Rupert Region and several other minor surveys; • the clearing program in the Duncan and Revelstoke Reservoirs; • the completion of the acquisition of land for the seed orchard in Vernon; • the completion of acquisition of rights-of-way for 14 Ministry of Forests roads; • the development of spot scarifier and hand planting tools; • the advising of the British Columbia Debris Board in the construction and operation of the Fraser River debris catchment basin. Under reorganization, a number of former Engineering Branch functions were transferred to the newly created Technical Services Branch. r Personnel Services The Personnel Services Branch is responsible for the establishment and administration of the ministry's personnel policies and programs. These responsibilities include staff recruitment, job classification, labour relations, staff development, job safety programs and employee compensation and benefit administration. In 1979, the branch was instrumental in the transition of the ministry into its new organizational working structure. The branch prepared and submitted to the Treasury Board the details of staffing requirements of the new organization. After receiving approval, the branch began to staff senior ministry positions in the regions, districts and Victoria headquarters. At year end, most of these positions were filled. The branch continued classifying jobs and staffing positions throughout the newly reorganized ministry. It is expected that this process will be completed in 1980. The branch successfully completed contract negotiations with both the British Columbia Government Employees Union and the British Columbia Government Professional Employees Association. The BCGEU and the BCGPA represent the majority of the ministry's more than 3 000 employees. r-■■:..■■■' :::. ' ■■■:.: ■:■■'■..-.: Forest Service Training School The Forest Service Training School provides ministry personnel with training and education services. These take the form of staff development courses which are designed to keep ministry personnel current on subject matters relevant to some aspect of their work. In 1979, the school gave courses to nearly 600 ministry staff on a variety of subjects including safety management, principles of supervision and personal and human relations skills. The school also prepared a training program explaining the ministry's new legislation and related regulations. In 1980, the school will formally undertake its functions as part of the Personnel Services Branch. 1 Systems Services Branch The Systems Services Branch is responsible for the policy, procedures, standards and overall planning of the ministry's information and data processing systems. During 1979, the branch took significant steps towards creating a productive systems development environment for the ministry. • As part of the ministry's decentralization, the branch is responsible for providing all organizational units with access to computer stored information or Distributed Data Processing (DDP). The branch initiated a long-range project to identify the ministry's informational needs with emphasis on satisfying regional requirements. Another factor for the long-range project is the need for systems development projects to emphasize management information requirements and basic operational requirements early in the conceptual planning phase. • The branch recruited personnel for the Data and Systems Coordination functions to enable it to pool valuable expertise for the ministry's operational systems. In addition, the branch has continued to provide operational support to the growing usage of electronic equipment including computers, terminals, word processors and data communications lines. In November, the Data Entry section installed a second computer facility to provide increased processing space and backup capability. Terminal facilities were added to all regional offices allowing them access to headquarters computer programs. f a In 1979, the branch also enhanced its cooperative working re- \., lationship with the British Columbia Systems Corporation and with other government ministries and agencies. I fbiffiiail | Legal and Administrative Services Branch was created in 1979 to consolidate related administrative services which were previously conducted by a number of different branches within the ministry. The branch is responsible for: • Legal Services which processes appeals and conducts hearings for licence holders and applicants and coordinates the preparation and publication of legal documents, legislation and regulations; • Reproduction, Draughting and Graphic Services which provides cartographic, draughting, graphic, reproduction and printing services for the ministry; and operates a map sales facility for industry; • Administrative Services which coordinates the development and publication of ministry policy and procedure manuals and ministry forms; establishes and monitors security standards; operates the central filing and records management system, mail and courier service, stationery and stock room and the word processing host centre; • Management Services which provides an internal management consulting service and specialized financial services and advice for the ministry. The Technical Services Branch was created in 1979 to provide accommodation, equipment, mechanical and related technical services for the ministry's activities throughout the province. Some of the branch's responsibilities were previously carried out by the Engineering Branch. The Technical Services Branch is now responsible for: • Building Services which maintains ministry buildings and mobile accommodation facilities throughout the province; • Marine Services which maintains motor launches for ministry inventory and scaling work along the coast; • Electronic Services which maintains mobile and stationary electronic equipment for forestry operation throughout the province; • Mechanical Services which acquires vehicles and mechanical equipment for the entire ministry; • Maintenance Depot which maintains, prepares and repairs equipment, vehicles and other machinery used in ministry operations.
