Scientific Certification Systems final report commends Lakeview for:

  • Past and current timber harvest activities that are not selectively removing necessary habitat for any species of taxa.
  • There is ample evidence across the ownership that silvicultural regimes do not require use of herbicides to secure adequate regeneration.
  • Collins’ presence in the Lakeview regions has been stable and long-term. While its competitors have come and gone, Collins has sustained and now remains the only industrial forest management and processing concern in the region.
  • The company has, through its actions over the long haul, created and maintains a very good reputation within the community.
  • The company has a general policy of open public access to the Collins Lakeview Forest, subject to selective road closures when necessary for public safety and resource protection.
