Second-growth thinning project to increase fibre to BC sawmill, pellet plant

A logging company and forest tenure holder owned by the City of Terrace, B.C., is undergoing a thinning project on second-growth forests in its operating area.

Terrace Community Forest general manager Kim Haworth told the Terrace Standard the project will address overcrowding in the second-growth areas and ultimately increase the number of trees available for harvest.
