Forestry in New Brunswick (Commercial Thinning)

This is a 96 hectare block that is being commercially thinned using 2 harvesters and 1 porter in central New Brunswick. The remaining species are left to grow into a higher quality product. The result of commercial thinning increases growth (diameter & height) of the remaining trees, thus improving overall forest health and resilience to natural disturbances such as wildfire, disease and insect epidemics. In turn, the commercial thinning produces a small profit from the pulpwood/studwood cut and allows for an easier second entry. Tree species include: Norway spruce, black spruce, balsam fir, white pine, aspen, maple and birch.
There is a lot of good things happening in the woods that the public doesn't see and hopefully this video reflects the professional quality of work that is being done.
Thanks for watching!

Talk about rabbit hole. I am subbed to Ewan Dobson, an amazing guitar player. He has 'New Brunswick' as his location in his uploads. I clicked on the location, and this was the first vid that popped up. Great video, and I really love the music, so I looked up the song, and it's absolutely perfect. Now I can't stop listening to Boards of Canada. What a wild ride. Have a great day.

To make things interesting, I'll also add that I got here by subscribing to Evan Dobson's channel :-)
And I am from Poland.
Beautiful lands in this New Brunswick.
I was interested in Siberia so far, but due to the current political situation, my eyes are looking more to Canada.
However, Canada is rather not in my reach.

I did not realise there was Norway spruce in Canada... don’t you have enough native conifers that are well adapted to the growing conditions?

[@MrSaltycreek]

I believe it was brought in years ago because it was resistant to a bug or worm that was around here years ago. Unfortunately it's not very good wood for building materials, its very weak

[@vanhelsing7031]

All right !
But what about the trees ? 🙂
