Canadian Biomass and Canadian Forest Industries are turning the spotlight on biomass harvesting. For five days – Feb. 24-28, 2025 – we’ll dive into the world of logging, chipping, grinding and transporting woody biomass.
Stay tuned to this landing page and our social media (#BiomassHarvestingWeek) for the latest stories and videos throughout the week.
Our Biomass Harvesting Week landing page is a year-round hub for industry and curious minds to learn best practices and find the latest information on harvesting forestry biomass.
