Kruger and the Forest
A Natural Connection
Whether in Newfoundland, Québec, Ontario or British
Columbia, the forest, is an endless source
of wonder. It is also at the heart of economic activity for many communities. Kruger is
particularly proud to contribute to its protection through sustainable forest management practices that meet the highest standards and are third-party certified.

Maintaining Biodiversity
The richness of a natural environment depends in large part
on its biological diversity. That is why Kruger’s
team of experts chooses forest management methods and strategies
that protect the many forest resources.
Forest access road construction, timber harvesting and silviculture
are all guided by stringent environmental protection standards.
|
We are particularly careful to protect the quality of water and wooded strips are left intact along riverbanks and around lakes to
maintain wildlife habitats and to preserve the aesthetic value
of the forest. Special attention is also paid to the protection
of sensitive areas, such as waterfowl habitats and peatlands,
and to the maintenance of a variety of tree species.
At Kruger, maintaining biodiversity is an ever increasing and
constant concern. Given the scope of the challenge, and in order
to ensure a solid foundation for our forest management activities,
more and more measures are taken to improve our knowledge
of forest ecology.
