GENERAL — under the Crown Forest Sustainability Act, 1994

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

Sections 26.1 through 28 of Ontario's general Crown forest regulation, which previously set out the approved Forest Management Planning Manual, Forest Information Manual, Forest Operations and Silviculture Manual, and Scaling Manual, have been revoked and replaced with a single consolidating note. The detailed transitional provisions about the 2020 and 2024 versions of those manuals no longer appear in the regulation text. The table of contents section reference for Manuals has also been corrected to reflect the remaining provisions. Forestry licence holders, forest management planners, and scaling operators who relied on those sections to identify which manual version applied should check with the Ministry for current guidance on applicable manuals.
