Please note, this TSL is part of a pilot project:
The Slash Pile Burning Reduction Pilot Project is an initiative by BCTS in fulfilment of commitments made in the Intentions Paper to increase the utilization of residual fibre and decrease the carbon emissions produced by the burning of slash piles.  The purpose of this pilot project is to test methods that incentivize BCTS agreement holders to remove post-harvest residual material, either directly or in partnership with secondary fibre users, through conditions in the Timber Sale Licence.  The project term is approximately 18 months long starting in early 2023. 

Objectives

1. Assess the effectiveness of TSL conditions in incentivizing the utilization of post-harvest residual material.
2. Quantify the reduction in slash burning.
3. Quantify the effect the pilot has on price and cost of pilot TSLs.
