  • The Forestry Sector
    The Forestry Sector Chapter 8 Prepared by Brad Stelfox, Bob Wynes, Frank Oberle, and Tim Barker Contributors Paul Folkman Joerg Goetsch Steve Luchkow Peter Murphy Harold Nicholson Darryl Price Tim Vinge Summary Points • During the last century, the forest sector has changed from a landuse based on small family-based operations intended for subsistence purposes and local economies to one characterized by large scale operations conducted by companies who adopt advanced woodland and mill technologies. • Small local logging operations prior to the 1960’s generally relied on diameter-limit harvest strategies intended to remove the largest most desirable trees from cutovers. • Harvest of softwood (conifer) trees has slowly grown from 200,000 m 3 in the early 1960’s to 1,200,000 m 3 in recent years. Hardwood harvest, essentially absent prior to 1993 now stands at ~1,600,000 m 3. Since 1966, ~23 million m 3 of softwood volume and 9 million m 3 of hardwood volume has been logged in northwest Alberta. • Whereas softwood harvest dominated logging operations in northwest Alberta during the last century, the harvest of hardwoods (primarily aspen) has grown rapidly during the last decade. Since the late 1980’s, the proportional contribution of softwood fiber to total volume harvest has steadily declined. • During recent decades, large forest companies have relied on 2-pass (occasionally 3-pass) clearcutting for both softwood and hardwood harvest. Some companies have begun exploring the use of structured cutblocks that allow for retention of residual green trees within cutblocks. • Cutblock frequency in northwest Alberta has varied from 300 to 600 cutblocks annually during the last several years.
