A.C. Forestry has signed a major forestry agreement with Carrier Forest Products.
According to Agency Chiefs Tribal Council CEO Ken Thomas, the agreement allows Carrier to receive softwood saw log timber from the Sakaw Askiy Management area located near Big River. The allocation is part of the former Prince Albert Pulp Mill’s forest management area as it was split up between Carrier, Montreal Lake and Tolko.
“We got one of the best pieces, which is an area from Dore Lake to Meadow Lake and over to Big River and back down to Spiritwood where our office is located,” Thomas said. “It’s about 1.5 million acres and that allows us to cut up to 400,000 cubic meters per year. Half of it is softwood and half of it is hardwood.”
