| Since 1976, Corner Brook Pulp and Paper has carried
out a comprehensive silviculture program aimed at providing a sustainable supply of raw
material for the mill and maintaining other forest values. In that time period, more than
$50 million has been invested in stand improvement and reforestation on Company
limits. Most of these expenditures have been cost shared with the Federal and
Provincial Governments. |

maintaining biodiversity, sustained yields of wood fibre and the overall sustainable
development of the forest. |
