This project aims to reduce wildfire risk and enhance wildlife habitat in a 143 hectare area adjacent to the City of Cranbrook and the Cranbrook Community Forest. The goal is to recover 11,000 cubic metres of pulp and sawlogs in addition to any residual fibre for use as biomass. This activity will remove wildfire fuel loading and result in a more open forest with higher timber and increased wildlife values.
