Join the Board
Each year, the BVCRB accepts nominations for new board members to serve a three year term.
The BVCRB is currently seeking nominations for Board members for 2012 through 2015. If you would like to nominate someone for a position on the BVCRB, please download our nomination form.
Members are selected by a selection committee made up of past board members. The goal is to have the board represent the full range of value perspectives listed in the BVCRB terms of reference.

Why Join The Board?
If you would like to participate and have meaningful input into local land-use decisions, consider applying to become a Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board (BVCRB) member.
What Does The Board Do?
The BVCRB was first established in 1991 to complete the Bulkley Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), widely regarded as one of British Columbia’s most successful land-use plans. Today, the Board continues to play an important role by advising government on resource management, monitoring resource management plans on crown lands, acting as the vehicle for public input on issues arising from the Land and Resource Management Plan, and reviewing any proposed changes to the Plan.
What Are Some Current Issues Being Considered By The Board?
Recreation Access Management: Recreational amenities are a significant contributor to local lifestyles and the economy. The BVCRB is actively encouraging the completion of a Recreation Access Management Plan, a key to maintaining good relations between those who use the back country for recreation.
Management of Resources in the Face of Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB): With significant portions of our local forest being impacted by MPB, challenging management decisions will have to be made. These decisions may include relaxing visual quality guidelines and allowing harvesting in protected areas and core ecosystems. The BVCRB believes that the public should have input into these decisions.
Who Is On The Board?
The BVCRB is comprised of 12 volunteers representing the full range of value perspectives in the community. Board members typically serve 1 or more 3 year terms, and this rotation means there are several openings on the board each year.
