Lumber wraps have most definitely become an essential product in the timber industry. Whether it is for transition, long-term storage or packaging lumber, joists, and other wood products, lumber wraps are a cost-effective product of modern technology.

The Canadian government today announced it will be investing more than $24 million in six B.C.-based wood product associations to help increase international demand for Canadian wood products.

With the number of curtailments and mill shutdowns announced in the first half of 2019, it might be surprising to learn that one mill is making a comeback.

Nova Scotia may claim a small percentage of the Canadian forest products industry, but its unique land base means it has one of the highest provincial percentage of woodlot owners. Rough estimates say there are upwards of 30,000 privately owned woodlots in Nova Scotia, and each one with a different set of interests and needs. Greg Watson is the general manager of North Nova Forest Owners Co-operative – one of a few privately run co-operatives in the province that bridge the gap between forest owners, logging contractors and sawmills.
