Cedar and hemlock forests
One submission recommends the Forest Service consider some type of incentives for the forest industry to use the older cedar and hemlock stands that are not included in the timber harvesting land base and to gradually return these stands to a healthy forest. The author asks whether the fibre from those old stands would be suitable for the proposed cogeneration and medium-density fibreboard plants in Prince George.
Deciduous
One submission states deciduous forests should be used for timber with caution because many species rely on them.
