As a logging company in northwestern ontario we supply logs,chips and biomass to area mills. Our company is a firm believer in the idea of utilizing the entire forest.
An increased focus on biomass production is good for business. Utilizing primarily birch from stands harvested for other wood products decreases costs . It only makes sense to try and gain additional revenue streams from current harvest areas.
Increased utilization of stands with a high birch component alllows us to extract the softwood logs that may have been previously left as bypass thereby increasing the yield of logs off the landbase.
We strongly support any actions by government to promote and encourage increased use of biomass . The old saying "waste not,want not " comes to mind.
