Dow Jones Description

TimberWest Forest Corp. is uniquely positioned as the largest owner of private forest lands in western Canada. The Company's 334,000 hectares, providing a sustainable annual harvest of 2.5 million m of logs, have an approximate average annual growth rate of 8.0 m per hectare per year on the productive land base, are located on Vancouver Island and predominantly support the growth of Douglas fir forests, a premium species used for structural purposes. TimberWest runs fully contracted harvesting operations and, with almost 70% of its logging now being done in second growth stands, the Company leads the industry in this segment. Third party auditors have certified that the management of the Company's private forest land conforms to the objectives and performance measures of the American Forest and Paper Association's Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI ). TimberWest also owns annual Crown harvest rights of 0.7 million m of logs and operates a sawmill at Elk Falls near Campbell River on Vancouver Island that consumes lower value logs primarily sourced from public tenures.
