This project was a research project to assess the establishment of a centralized log sorting yard in the Quesnel District. By reducing log transportation time, the centralized yard could increase access to timber and improve the District's ability to rehabilitate low value/uneconomic mountain pine beetle-killed stands. FPI used their experience and modeling to evaluate road systems and potential sort yard locations to make theoretical recommendations. Various sortyard locations were modelled including Nazko and Quesnel.
