British Columbia is divided into six forest regions which are divided into 43 forest districts.
Regional offices provide direction and expertise and monitor district activities.
District offices are the operational arm of the Forest Service, providing services at the local level and responding to local needs. The Mackenzie Forest District lies within the Prince George Forest Region and covers approximately 6.1 million hectares. Williston Reservoir, covering approximately 1.5 million hectares, is the dominant geographic feature of the area. The Rocky Mountain Trench runs north-south through the centre of the district. The Rocky Mountains border the trench along the eastern side.
