Bioenergy
Harvesting Opportunities
and Volume Estimates for Potential Tenure
Ministry of
Forests and Range region and district staff conducted a study in Fall
2007 to estimate the potential tenure opportunity for bioenergy. The
opportunity is guided by forest stewardship requirements, available
low-grade timber, and available Allowable Annual Cut.
