Planting
1.3 million seedlings are to be planted this May and June in numerous sites located north and west of Williams Lake. These will be under plantings within 20- 40 year old lodgepole pine plantations. The primary species will be white spruce and Douglas- fir.
Two contractors have been selected through an open tendering process to plant the units. Six local First Nations have been awarded planting contracts.

Surveys
Planned for 2008 are 10,000ha of silviculture surveys in 20- 40 year old plantations of lodgepole pine. These stands have been severely impacted by the Mountain Pine Beetle to the extent that 60-80 % of the crop trees have been killed. Natural regeneration levels in these stands are variable. These surveys will determine the level of beetle mortality, natural regeneration infill, vigour, and the extent of Non- Satisfactory Restocked (NSR) areas. These surveys will also collect other site data that will support treatment prescriptions (eg. site preparation, planting).
Until May 22, 2008 there is an opportunity to bid on four multi- year survey contracts:
1- WL2008/10-1: 1474ha (2008), 1200-1700ha (2009), 1200- 1700ha (2010)
2- WL2008/10-2: 1336ha (2008), 1200-1700ha (2009), 1200- 1700ha (2010)
3- WL2008/10-3: 1312ha (2008), 1200-1700ha (2009), 1200- 1700ha (2010)
4- WL2008/10-4: 1420ha (2008), 1200-1700ha (2009), 1200- 1700ha (2010)
