Biographical history
In 1978, the Kamloops Forest District was renamed the Kamloops Forest Region, however its boundaries did not change. Between 1978 and 1981, the Region was further reorganized into the following smaller Forest Districts: Clearwater, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Penticton, Merritt and Lillooet. These were based on the Previous Ranger Districts. This means the Kamloops Forest District continued to exist after 1978, however, it was a much smaller area part of the new Kamloops Forest Region.
In 2003 the region was amalgamated with the Nelson Forest Region and the Cariboo Forest Region to form the Southern Interior Forest Region.
In 2010 the Southern Interior Forest Region ceased to exist and was replaced by three districts with boundaries similar to those before the amalgamation. The area that had been covered by the old Kamloops Forest Region was renamed the Thompson Okanagan Forest Region, with its headquarters in Kamloops. In 2016 the name of the Thompson Okanagan Forest Region was changed to the Thompson Okanagan Natural Resource Region.

This series includes records related to forest tenures in the Kamloops Forest Region from 1987-1998. The series currently includes records from the Kamloops Forest District, Penticton Forest District and Vernon Forest District within the larger Kamloops Forest Region.
Types of forest tenure records in this series include non-replaceable timber sale licences (TSLs), including licences issued under the Small Business Forest Enterprise (SBFEP) program and BC Timber Sales Program.
Records regard the issuance, evaluation, administration, monitoring, planning, replacement, cancellation and extension of forest tenures under the Forest Act.
Records include correspondence; licences; logging plans; log hauling and harvesting contracts; preharvest silviculture prescriptions, reviews and amendments; harvest inspection reports and appraisals; stumpage calculations; records related to right of ways and Forest Service Road permits; reports; maps; and photos.
The series also includes legal documents for cutting permits for replaceable forest licences and tree farm licence (TFL) 35. These files may include some of the records described above, but primarily contain records related to silviculture prescriptions and surveys.
