What is the importance of local timber supply for sawmills? Given the increasing demand for sustainable building materials and the role of sawmills in the local economy, I think it's essential to consider how local timber resources affect these operations. Are sawmills in our area relying heavily on local timber, and what impact does that have on the quality of the products they produce?

The need for local wood supplies to support Sawmills in Vanderhoof, BC cannot be overemphasized. They were getting a steady supply of wood in the close. Vicinity enhances the process of sawmills and makes it efficient and sustainable. This is very important in that locally grown wood cuts down on transportation expenses which is very sensitive given ever skyrocketing fuel costs. Also, the emission of carbon when the wood is transported from places far away is reduced. Owing to this, sawmills that obtain the wood from other neighboring areas will be in a better position to regulate the quality of the wood to meet specific standards for their products. This link to local forests creates identity and they want to preserve as well as conserve the forests by sawmill workers since they depend on them.
