Is Ontario Pine Forest Products Ltd. environmentally friendly?
Yes, Ontario Pine Forest Products Ltd. uses specially designed and built thinning harvesters and forwarders. Because of their special features, they have the ability to work in a plantation with minimal damage to the remaining trees or the forest floor. After pre-commercial thinning, both coniferous and deciduous (hardwoods) will start to grow. They have not grown before because of the lack of light. Natural regeneration will continue as the plantation is further thinned and a new stand will eventually take over from the original one creating a mixed forest. We, are managing a coniferous plantation so that it is sustainable and promote natural regenteration.
