Document Summary
Pink squares on map are patent land owned by hearst forest: about 269 000 ha. Much of it is fairly isolated (although some is on the algoma rail line) Orange land includes hearst and the surrounding farms along highway 11. Blue is the constance lake fn (first nation) intensive forestry option: poplar at 5m^3/ha/a on a 7 year rotation (conservative, target 350 000 m^3 annual production, need 70 000 ha. Highway 11 about 100 km across hearst forest if you discount populated zones you might consider a 4-5km stretch along this highway this would give you almost 100 000 ha for intensive management. With the remaining forest area you could drastically increase conservation zones. Cost of biomass (high) - /tonne: would be cheaper in the north, however yield is lower. Planted in early spring into site prepared land: site prepared to ensure. Ph 6. 5 or greater (fixed by liming) Weed control management important during first year.
