Outdoor recreation is an integral part of the lives of all
Newfoundlanders. It is also the basis for much of the Province's growing adventure
tourism industry. Our forests provide the setting for many types of outdoor
activities ranging from sightseeing, berry picking, cross country skiing, and wilderness
hiking, to hunting, fishing and white water canoeing. Company roads provide access
to all these activities and more.
Main River which flows through our timber lands on
the Northern Peninsula, is one of Canada's most majestic wild rivers. Before
harvesting operations began in the areas along the river, Corner Brook Pulp and Paper
conducted an Environmental Impact Assessment of proposed operations in the area.
Through this process the company identified a wilderness reserve along the full length of
the river. Main River has recently been approved as part of the Canadian Heritage
Rivers systems.
