Cooper Creek Utilization/Incremental Haul of Residual Fibre

Project Number: #FC0000575

The goal of this project was complete stand harvesting and utilization. During the harvesting phase, which typically only targets sawlog quality wood, all uneconomic fibre and dead-standing logs were also cleared and brought to a landing for sorting. At the landing, all uneconomic fibre was sorted out and then trucked alongside the sawlogs, maximizing fibre recovery and utilization. This activity significantly reduced the volume of uneconomic fibre left on site to be burned or left as potential wildfire fuel which, in turn, reduces potential greenhouse gas emissions resulting from burning fibre.
