Stand Rehabilitation and Utilization of Residual Fibre – Pt. 2

This is a continuation of another FESBC-supported rehabilitation project in the Quesnel Forest District. Through this project, biomass will be utilized from mountain pine beetle-damaged stands and residual waste fibre piles west of Quesnel, and transported to Prince George where it will be manufactured into pellets for use as energy. These activities will result in reduction of greenhouse gases by avoiding the release of carbon through on site burning, enhance fibre utilization, and help maintain and create employment. The beetle impacted stands that are rehabilitated will be harvested and increase the long-term timber supply for future generations.
