| Biolog Recovery and Utilization for Energy Plant |
Fort St. James Fuel Co Limited Partnership |
Forest Carbon |
This project enables the Fort St. James Green Energy facility to utilize low-grade pulp and biolog fibre that would otherwise be burned. The fibre will either be trucked in whole log form, or be ground on site and then trucked to the facility. The project will enable several forest tenure holders operating in the Stuart Nechako Resource District to transport the low-grade fibre from harvest blocks to the energy plant. This project helps to support the Province’s greenhouse gas reduction targets. |

| Recovery and Utilization of Residual Fibre near Mackenzie |
1040806 B.CLtd. |
Forest Carbon |
This project enables low-grade pulp and biolog fibre that would otherwise be burned to be recovered and trucked to either the East Fraser Fibre chipping plant in Mackenzie or the Fort St. James Green Energy facility. From there, the fibre is then either used in the energy plant or made available for purchase and use by other secondary fibre users in the region such as Mackenzie Pulp. This project helps to support the Province’s greenhouse gas reduction targets by augmenting the transportation of low-grade fibre from harvest blocks to be utilized rather than burned. |

Sasuchan Development Corporation |
Forest Carbon |
This project enables the recovery and utilization of low-grade pulp and biolog fibre that would otherwise be burned. The fibre will either be trucked in whole log form, or be ground on site and then trucked to the end use facility. The project helps the Sasuchan Development Corporation move the low-grade fibre from blocks and helps to support the Province’s greenhouse gas reduction targets. |

| Canfor Pulp - Utilization of Residual Fibre |
Canfor - Prince George Pulp and Paper |
Forest Carbon |
This project enables low-grade pulp fibre that would otherwise be burned to be utilized from areas in the Peace and Fraser-Fort George regional districts and trucked to Canfor Pulp and Paper in Prince George, B.C. Canfor Pulp Prince George will then utilize pulp logs for pulp and paper production. Recovery of the low-grade fibre enhances utilization, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps maintain and generate employment. |

| Mackenzie Pulp - Fibre Recovery andUtilization |
Mackenzie Pulp Mill Corporation |
Forest Carbon |
This project enables low-grade pulp fibre that would otherwise be burned to be recovered and trucked to the East Fraser Fibre and Duz Cho chipping plants and then utilized by Mackenzie Pulp. Forest license holders operating in the Mackenzie Resource District are now able to transport low-grade fibre from their harvest blocks to Mackenzie to be utilized rather than burned. This project helps to support the Province’s greenhouse gas reduction targets. |

| McBride Community Forest - Grinding Roadside Residuals |
Pacific Bioenergy |
Fibre Recovery |
This project enabled the utilization of uneconomic, non-merchantable low-grade fibre accumulations resulting from harvesting activities in the McBride Community Forest. Instead of being burned, the fibre was ground and hauled to the Pacific BioEnergy pellet facility in Prince George. This project helped to support the Province’s greenhouse gas reduction targets, provide employment, and maximize fibre utilization. |

| Fraser Lake Community Forest - Integrated Haul |
The Corporation of the Village of Fraser Lake |
Fibre Recovery |
This project will help the Fraser Lake Community Forest transport uneconomic residual waste fibre to the Pinnacle Pellet plant in Burns Lake. With FESBC funding, the intended outputs are to remove 17,838 cubic meters of pulp wood from the landscape and for the Fraser Lake Community Forest to sell it to Pinnacle Pellet. Removing the fibre from the landbase will provide three benefits for the Fraser Lake Community Forest: first, there will be economic opportunity to the local area, second, the integrated haul project would allow for a significant reduction in the amount dead and downed pine left on the landscape, and third, the removal of wood that would have been left on site to decay reduces the amount wildfire risk. The utilization of the low value fibre creates jobs in the community forest and supports the achievement of B.C.'s and Canada's climate change targets by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. |

| Mackenzie Increased Fiber Utilization |
East Fraser Fiber |
Fibre Recovery |
Utilization of residual waste fibre by the East Fraser Chipping plant in Mackenzie, B.C. and further distribution to other secondary fibre users in the North Central Interior. East Fraser Fiber is an independent, whole log chipping plant which has been supplying wood chips to pulp mills for decades. This project will maintain much needed jobs in Mackenzie and help to avoid pile burning emissions as well as improve fibre utilization from existing cutting permits outside the current economic reach for low grade fibre. The avoidance of pile burning results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to the achievement of B.C.'s and Canada's climate change targets. |

| Tabor Mountain Strategic Plan and Implementation |
Tabor Mountain Recreational Society |
Stand Rehabilitation |
The goal of this project was to better align provincial strategy and the Tabor Mountain Recreation Society's Management Plan with the aim to improve long-term management outcomes in the area, located approximately 20 km east of Prince George BC. This process involved a number of components including: (1) mapping and GIS inventory to identify and highlight planning areas, (2) drafting of a strategic plan to coordinate an integrated resource management, (3) reviewing stand management strategies, (4) monitoring effectiveness of activities, and (5) communications and consultation with area stakeholders. The result was improved harmonization of forest recreation with other forest values. |
