Recorded harvest from the province's consolidated cutblocks layer, summed by harvest-start year. The last two years (greyed) are still being reported and will rise, so the recent drop is mostly reporting lag, not less logging. This counts mapped harvest area; it is not a statement about who logged it or whether it was allowed.
