High-lead logging expands in interior British Columbia
In Prince George area interior sites near McBride and Valemount, high-lead logging using a steel spar and yarding is promoted by the BC Forest Service. The method, suited to steep ground, reduces erosion and debris, logs 400 acres near Valemount and 100 acres near McBride, and may cover up to 60 percent of regional timber in future while needing skilled operators and higher equipment costs. Ranger Hoddinott and Ranger Benwell emphasize environmental benefits and economic feasibility.
