Though the majority of #forestry companies in #BritishColumbia have committed to presenting their proposed operations in the #FOMportal, the project is currently #voluntary, the press release stated.
The #project will include a number of activities, such as the possible #reintroduction of lost wildlife like butterflies, rare #plants & beavers & the moving of #funghi to restore #soil.
#PaperExcellence has hired McMillan at least six times over the last six years to advise on more than $6 billion US in transactions, including its takeovers of #forestry companies #CatalystPaper, #Domtar & #ResoluteForestProducts. It also represented a Paper Excellence subsidiary in a dispute with CN Rail.

Came across these two bags of un-planted trees (Sitka spruce) in one of the local plantation areas. As far as I can tell, the planting has finished.
