Cedar Bark Sample Clauses

Cedar Bark. Cedar bark is highly valued by Squamish Nation community members and other First Nations and has a wide variety of cultural uses such as for making regalia and baskets. SQCF contains stands of western redcedar trees with the right characteristics for cedar bark stripping. The Community Forest recognizes the cultural importance of cedar and cedar bark for Squamish Nation. Upon request, SQCF will work with Squamish Nation community members to locate cedar stands that are available/appropriate for bark stripping, with priority placed on areas that are planned to be logged in the near future. If cedar bark stripping has not occurred prior to timber falling, the SQCF will facilitate harvesting of bark from felled cedar trees either at the harvest site or at the log yard. Where ecologically suitable, SQCF will plant a large component of western redcedar, to maintain and/or increase its presence and distribution across the Community Forest landbase.
