BC's Spongy Moth Eradication Regulation gets an updated Schedule of regulated areas

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

The Schedule attached to the Spongy Moth Eradication Regulation has been repealed and replaced with a new version. The Schedule typically defines the geographic areas subject to spongy moth eradication controls — such as treatment zones, movement restrictions on regulated articles (e.g., nursery stock, outdoor household items), and related obligations. Anyone operating in or moving plant material, vehicles, or outdoor equipment out of areas covered by the new Schedule should review the updated boundaries and requirements. Landowners, nurseries, logging operations, and movers of regulated articles in affected regions are most directly impacted. The full text of the new Schedule was not reproduced in this amendment filing, so affected parties should consult the consolidated regulation for the current geographic scope.

Who this affects: nursery and greenhouse operators · forestry and logging companies · landowners in regulated areas · businesses moving plant material or outdoor equipment · municipal and regional governments in affected zones
