Canoe Forest Products in Salmon Arm wants to salvage beetle-kill Douglas fir from the East Canoe Creek Community Watershed. “Those red crowns are dead Douglas fir trees, the result of Douglas fir beetle infestations,” Canoe’s Ray Mills said. …He told council Canoe previously undertook a similar salvage operation to harvest beetle-killed Douglas fir in 2020. …Mills said the harvested trees would provide a local economic boost as well as since Canoe Forest Products would mostly use the Douglas fir harvested. “So some cedar will go to Downey in Revelstoke,” he said. “Solid components that we don’t utilize could go to Adams Lake, could go to Tolko in Armstrong, some will go down to Gorman brothers, which is our parent company in West Bank.” …“I really appreciate the approach that Canoe is taking on this,” said Coun. Sylvia Lindgren.
