How will the Community Forest encourage local loggers, contractors and manufacturers?
One of the values of the community forest is to provide opportunities to local operators, mill owners and value-added manufacturers. The community forest board has met with members of Powell River Wood Association and is currently identifying local capacity for wood use in the community. Local businesses often look for small amounts of specific types of wood. PRCF wants to work with local operators to identify their needs and offer targeted parcels for sale from the community forest.
