Spend a lot of time in the Bush around Dryden. The forests are managed as well can be expected in terms of where and when to cut. My peeve is the waste left behind that are not desirable or profitable species to harvest for whomever is cutting these bush limits. Every year after the first snowfall 1000's of cords of wood are burned in slash piles, I am 100% certain this material could be utilized better and made into something that creates jobs and profit for an investor. Several years back a couple local entrepreneurs wanted to start a pellet processing facility but where denied access to this waste material because there was no monetary gain for the private company that was controlling these public lands to allow it. Their preference is the burn it, and get it out of sight, out of mind, out of the market stream. My point is that it is disgraceful, that any company can't be overridden by our government on lands that are in its care for all peoples of this province and told that what they leave behind can be re-directed to another enterprise.
