Did you know that it takes up to three years before a logging company can cut a single tree? Gerald Cordeiro, Forest Development Manager at  @kalesnikoff  , shares each step of the planning and approval procedures that every logging company in our province has to undertake before they are allowed to fell a tree. From LiDar map examinations to multiple professional assessments and on-the-ground evaluations, a lot of work goes into selecting a stand of trees for harvest. And logging isn’t the end of the process. Reforestation and tending to the newly planted forest stretches out for decades! This is what responsible forestry looks like in BC: care, collaboration and commitment.
