Management by prescription
Component of the CAR reserve system on public production forests, in which protection of values is prescribed through management prescriptions in codes of practice or management plans. Examples include values that are not mappable in advance of their detection, and/or where inclusion in dedicated or informal reserves is impractical, such as riparian vegetation or rare, dispersed or fragmented values.
