The Great Bear Rainforest Order (GBRO) sets out objectives to guide implementation of ecosystem-based management (EBM) in the Great Bear Rainforest plan area (GBR). The GBRO includes an objective to prepare Landscape Reserve Designs (LRDs) for each Landscape Unit in the GBR. Madrone is actively working with stakeholders of the GBR to develop draft LRDs. LRDs are a mid-scale planning product, prepared in the context of higher level strategic land use designations (e.g., conservancies and ecological reserves). The purpose of LRDs is to identify how GBRO objectives for biodiversity, Indigenous forest-values, wildlife habitat, and managed forest can best be addressed in each Landscape Unit. LRDs are intended to guide and create a more transparent and stable environment for commercial forestry planning and management.
