This project involved transporting uneconomic residual wood to pulp mills, a pellet plant and a power plant to avoid pile burning emissions and to improve the utilization of fibre. The residual fibre is typically burned and wasted due to the poor quality, small piece size and distance from markets, so being able to utilize it rather than burn it results in multiple benefits. The residual fibre that otherwise would have been slash burned is generated
through a number of forest harvesting activities undertaken by the First Nation including wildfire risk reduction, community forest timber harvesting and habitat improvement projects.
