and Williams Forest |
| The LRCA owns two forest
management properties that afford flood protection and provide wildlife
habitat. Periodic harvest of wood products and regeneration are part of
the management plan for the properties. Mills Block Forest (pictured
at right) offers a 4 km hiking trail. Walk across an active beaver
dam and watch for wildlife in the rich mixed forest.
Sound Forest Management Lakehead Conservation undertook various forest management activities in 1998. At the beginning of the year, small harvest blocks were cut in the Williams Forest and Mills Block Forest. Some of the blocks were replanted with red pine and white spruce seedlings, while the rest will be allowed to regenerate naturally. Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. is managing forest resources on the two land parcels in conjunction with Lakehead Conservation. |
