Reminded of the continuum of nature and the role we play in conserving these valuable resources for the future, we support a balanced use of natural resources and are environmentally responsible in our operations.
Once felled, the logs are transported to the parent mill via our large transport fleet. The use of sophisticated machinery for felling and lifting logs onto the transport trucks increases efficiency and reduces the risks of injury to manpower.
