Conifer plantations, 20-25
years of age, have been thinned
to improve the growth rate on the
remaining stand. Usually every
fourth row has been removed with
the idea that the centre row of
the remaining three will be taken
out in about five years. There
would then be several additional

Several thousand cords have
been purchased by Ontario Paper
Company Limited of Thorold.
This has usually been purchased
on the stump and operated by
Wagner Pulpwood Industries
Ltd.- who fells the conifer stems,
buck them into 8' lengths and put
them in small piles along the
cleared row. Self-loading
machines then pick up these piles
and transport the - pulpwood out
of the plantations, 1-2 cords per
load. After piling in long piles,
the wood is measured by licensed
scalers. It is them peeled, loaded
on trucks and hauled to a rail-
way siding. The final stages
are the rail haul to Thorold and
it's manufacture into paper.
Dorwood Industries Ltd. of
Breslau are also purchasing

menu Forest properties. In the
cleared fourth row the short bolts
of conifer wood (red pine, white
pine, Scots pine) are loaded by
an "elevator" loader onto a rack
attached to the back of a wheeled
skidder. This rack of wood is
then carried' out of the planta-
tion and loaded onto a truck using
a fork lift.
At Breslau the wood is pro-
cessec: through a series of saws
to produce "runners" and
"slats for pallets. These pal-
lets are sold to various indus-
tries which, utilize them to sepa-
rate, protect and carry their
products-often with "fork lifts"
or other equipment.
The conifer plantations at the
McLean Tract of Brant County
Forest were thinned by removing
every fourth row. This opera
tion, using a tractor and trailer
was carried out by local staff
who piled the 8' bolts at "road-
side"-i.e. at the edge of planta-
tions, along the access roads into
'the forest tract. The bolts of
red pine were then peeled and
sold to the County of Brant to
be utilized for guard rail posts
along their County Roads4
The County Roads Department

hauled them to their maintenance
