About the Partnership Forest Stewardship Plan Community Forest Management Objectives

The Cortes Island Community Forest

In August 2013 the Minister of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations issued a Community Forest Agreement (CFA) for approximately 3,869 hectares of crown land on Cortes Island to the Cortes Forestry General Partnership (CFGP). 

The CFGP is an equal partnership between the Klahoose Forestry No. 2 Limited Partnership, and the Cortes Community Forest Cooperative. These two entities are in turn directly responsible to their constituent memberships.

In early 2014, the CFGP initiated a community based planning process to identify and document the values of the Cortes Island community as they relate to the CFA. Completed in July 2014, the Community Forest Operating Plan (CFOP) expressed the management philosophy by which the CFGP intends to manage the CFA.

The CFOP was revised in 2019 – 2019 and has been renamed as the Cortes Community Forest Management Objectives (CFMO).

The final draft of the 2019 CFMO is available here: 2019 CFMO
