Today, forest
management is much more than harvesting and growing trees. It involves
the management of all resources within the forest through an integrated
planning approach. The forest is a network of interlocking resource
values including fisheries, wildlife, water quality, recreation,
wilderness and timber. Corner Brook Pulp and Paper ensures this mosaic
of resource values is managed on a sustainable basis to provide economic
and social benefits for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
It is essential that
our forests remain healthy and diverse, and that all forest uses are
respected. In meeting this goal, Corner Brook Pulp and Paper's forest
management planning process involves public input and participation to
ensure operating plans reflect the interests of all forest users. If we
are to sustain values such as timber, water quality, and recreational
opportunities, the forest must be managed today, with tomorrow in mind.
If you are interested in
getting involved in this process, contact your district office of the
Department of Natural Resources

Corner Brook Pulp and Paper is involved
in another forest management process requiring public input and
participation. As part of the requirements for certification to the
CSA-Z809-02 Sustainable Forest Management Standard, Corner Brook Pulp
and Paper has formed a Public Advisory Committee, to provide organized
and regular input into the Company's Sustainable Forest Management Plan
(see link below). The Public Advisory Committee currently consists of
33 members representing: private citizens, towns, outdoor clubs and
associations, union, government, harvesting contractors, environmental
groups, aboriginals and development boards. Please
contact us if you are interested in
joining the Public Advisory Committee, or learning more about it.
We invite your
feedback on our
SFM Plan, forest and management practices, logging
activities and Company roads - any subject you would like to address or discuss.
