Skeene Bay Salvage

Project Number: #FC0001091

This project enabled the transportation of uneconomic wood to a local pulp mill to increase fibre utilization. The residual fibre was recovered by a local logging contractor from areas in and around Skeene Bay, contributing to both local employment and increased fibre utilization. THE CHALLENGE: Logging operations in and around Skeene Bay had post-harvest residuals that were too expensive for the operators to remove and transport. THE OUTCOME: FESBC's funding helped local logging contractors to recover the residual fibre which increased utilization and contributed to local employment.
