Fibre Utilization and Recovery in the Chilcotin

Project Number: #FC0000478

Transporting uneconomic wood to be chipped at a pulp wood, pellet or energy facility to avoid pile burning emissions. Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd.'s goal in this project is to maximize fibre utilization and recovery in all future harvesting operations by extracting both sawlog and pulp fibre supplies. Through adjustments to harvest operations during the bunching and processing phase in a way that will allow for greater utilization of fibre. This results in the recovery of fibre normally left on site to be burned. This approach creates long-term carbon benefits.
