Reminder to our Commercial Clients
All Timber Resource and Fuel Wood Licences now undergo a 30-day public notification period prior to issuance. Operators are encouraged to apply early for winter 2011/12 harvesting opportunities to ensure wood is made available for preferred timeframes.
Harvesting of more than 25m3 (11cords) is done within a Timber Harvest Plan area. Please contact your Client Services & Inspections office or Area Forester, to discuss options for where to harvest.
Read the fact sheet on Harvesting Firewood and Timber for Commercial Sales in Yukon.
