Hasn’t the introduction of chip mills and satellite chippers increased the amount of clearcutting of stands that would have been considered marginal or too young previously?
Satellite chippers are not a common practice in Nova Scotia. Wood chips are a by-product created by saw mills. Sawlogs are milled and the wastes that these create are used to produce chips. For example, the production of Kraft paper used in the Pulp and Paper industry requires a lower quality of wood. This is wood that in the past would not have been harvested. Today, marginal forests are being harvested and regenerated, resulting in new, healthier and more vibrant forests. Today we have healthier forests than we did thirty years ago.
