Public meetings on Pasquia forest management plan to start this week
You will soon get a chance to hear about harvesting and reforestation plans in the province’s northeast this week.
Public hearings are being held on the Pasquia Porcupine Forest Management Plan. The plan covers two million hectares of forest in northeast Saskatchewan. It’s one of six main FMA’s in the province that lay out how much timber forestry companies can cut and their requirements for doing reforestation after harvesting.
“Basically outlining some of the draft operating plans proposed for the 2023 operating year,” said Travis Hedger, with Edgewood Forest Products, which operates a sawmill at Carrot River. “Within that, there’s also some updates on other forest activities such as renewal, tree planting, forest management plans. It’s an opportunity for the public to attend and participate,” he said.
Hedger said for the 2023 operating year there is not much change.
