BC increasing short rotation fibre plantations

As reported in the January 2010 Status Update on the Implementation of The Working Roundtable on Forestry’s Recommendations, the BC Ministry of Forests and Range has now established five short-rotation forest plantations in the Vanderhoof, Prince George, Fort St. James, Babine and Okanagan-Shuswap forest districts.

Government scientists are also evaluating the suitability of several broad leaves for short rotation fibre and energy production.
