Habitats
BC species and ecosystem screening. Read original observation dates, proposed/final status and quality. Generalised areas require further enquiries; empty public mapping does not prove absence.
Forestry
BC wildlife, fisheries and old-growth constraints. Approved, proposed and non-legal planning areas remain separate. Check the relevant orders and current measures before work.
