Tussock Moth Outbreak of 2000 I The Story of Pond 9

Maintaining and enhancing ecosystem health is the primary focus of Bennett Lumber's forest management efforts. Healthy forests provide habitat for fish and wildlife as well as timber for our mill. Bennett Lumber's commitment to sound environmental practices is an everyday effort.

The following summary of two major projects, the 2000 Tussock moth outbreak and the cleanup of Pond 9, demonstrates the level of effort we are willing to make to assure our forests and watersheds remain healthy for years to come.

After repairing the damaged road leading into Pond 9, 45 large dump truck loads of unwanted rubbish were hauled away.
