Logs on Jacques Bay rd.

Just wondered if anyone could tell me what was going on with all the cut trees on the north side of Jacques Bay rd. around the Pearson Pond road area?

Thanks

Hi! I believe that is just part of the logging program taking place around the area primarily during the winter months.

Hi Brent,

As part of the Mazinaw-Lanark Forestry Inc (MLFI) forest management plan, approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the area you have mentioned was scheduled for shelterwood logging. Wikipedia defines this as:

Shelterwood cutting refers to a progression of forest cuttings leading to the establishment of a new generation of seedlings of a particular species or group of species without planting. This silvicultural system is normally implemented in forests that are considered mature, often after several thinnings.
