Fibre Utilization Intake
In order to gauge interest and opportunities, FESBC has opened a new intake for projects that would deliver otherwise unmarketable, non-sawlog fibre from forest management activities. Projects that can be completed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, will be considered. Learn more about this opportunity through the program guide below and determine if your project is eligible.
Please note that this intake does not yet have secured funding and that, based on previous intakes, demand will likely exceed FESBC’s capacity to fund. Provided funding can be secured, a follow-up email will be sent with timelines for project selection. If you have any questions, please contact the responsible Operations Manager for your area: https://fesbc.ca/contact-us/
