Figure 13 shows the progression <strong>of</strong> approved regional scale plan coverage from 1993 to 2009. By 2001, over<br />

70% <strong>of</strong> the BC l<strong>and</strong> base was captured within an approved plan. After this period, sub-regional <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scape<br />

scale planning intensified, resulting in a slower rate <strong>of</strong> regional scale planning approvals.<br />

Boundaries for SLRPs at sub-regional <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scape scales are usually contained within the boundaries <strong>of</strong> regional<br />

scale SLRPs (Map 7). Many <strong>of</strong> these sub-regional <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scape scale plans provide detailed direction that builds<br />

on <strong>and</strong> is consistent with the broader direction provided in a regional scale SLRP. Exceptions are the l<strong>and</strong>scape<br />

scale plans in the Merritt, Chilliwack, <strong>and</strong> Sunshine Coast forest districts, where there are no SLRPs at the<br />

regional scale.
