Terniinated been utilized for a wide variety of forest products. 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 Stumpage wood from the Agree. 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 piCked up the peeled posts at the McLean Tract; and then hauled them to their maintenance depot near Brantford. Here the posts were treated with preser- vative in a "dip" tank to give 'them longer life as a post. many Agreement Forest. tracts have had low grade Scirita pine arid other conifer spedies removed in a wide Variety of thinning patterns.
