| | Alberta relies on the competence and professionalism of Regulated Forestry Professionals (RFP) to apply sound forestry principles and practices.
Regulated Forestry Professionals must follow specific standards and a Code of Ethics to practice forestry on public lands in Alberta. They are accountable to the public and their peers. Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs) and Registered Professional Forest Technicians (RPFTs) work for both government and the forest industry.
Regulated Forestry Profession Act and Self-Regulation
The Regulated Forestry Profession Act establishes regulations for RPFs and RPFTs. Through the Act, the government has delegated the self-regulation of professional foresters to
- College of Alberta Professional Foresters (CAPF) and
- College of Alberta Professional Forest Technologists (CAPFT)
Alberta Forest Management Planning Standard
Forest Management Plans in Alberta are prepared by Regulated Forestry Professionals and must follow the Alberta Forest Management Planning Standard.
The Alberta Forest Management Planning Standard (Annex 2, Role of Regulated Forestry Professionals in Forest Management) is the source document for RFP validation requirements. Applicable checklists accompany validated forest management submissions to Alberta to show the submitting RFP's due diligence in preparing the submission and to focus Alberta's review.
RFP Checklists
Forest management validation requirements and checklists are provided in digital format for the RFP's use when making forest management submissions to Alberta.
Checklists and documents requiring validation must be printed, signed, and submitted with the relevant submission.
