Eastern Ontario Forest Utilization Study


In an effort to address the forest industry's issue of dealing with wood residuals and low end wood fibres the RCCFDC on behalf of the 15 Eastern Ontario CFDC's launched a Wood Residual Project.

C.L. Polk Forestry Consulting from Renfrew prepared the study which analyzes the greater catchment of Renfrew, Lanark and Frontenac Counties, along with the Bancroft/Mazinaw/Minden and Haliburton area.

The study identifies the type, source and volume of wood residual and low end wood fibres, along with identifying potential uses and markets.  It also aided in determining if the quality and quantity of the fibres warrant in establishing a related secondary manufacturing process.

This study generated significant interest in the forest industry both locally and from across the province.
