How does the new Act change the responsibilities of a professional forester acting as part of a multi-disciplinary team working on a forest management plan?
The Act does not affect the working level responsibilities that the professional forester has with the other members of the team. The Act does increase the accountability of the professional forester for the components of the plan that he/she is accountable for. It also increases the accountabilities of other professional foresters who might review and/or approve the plan.
