Forest and Wood Products

Kruger and the Forest
A Natural Connection

Whether in Newfoundland, Québec, Ontario or British Columbia, the forest, teaming with life, is an endless source of wonder. It is also the economic heart of many communities and the origin of innumerable preferred products. Kruger is particularly proud to be a part of all this. That is why the company strongly supports and practices sustainable forest management.

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. Wooded strips are left along riverbanks and around lakes to maintain wildlife habitats and to preserve the esthetic value of the forest. Special attention is also paid to the protection of sensitive sites, 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 steps are being taken to improve our knowledge of forest ecology.
