Logging

With the start of timber harvest season in the Ganaraska Forest, the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) would like to remind Forest users to exercise caution and yield the right-of-way to logging equipment during timber harvest operations. Exercise Caution When Encountering Logging Equipment in the Ganaraska Forest: Some forest roads may remain open to facilitate the movement of logging equipment through the Forest. Operations, starting September 10, 2026, will take place predominantly in the Central Forest, including a combination of selective thinning and final removals, remaining active until February 28, 2027. During this time, all recreational trails within active logging areas will remain closed for the safety of users and contractors. Additionally, hunting in or accessing trails through active logging areas is prohibited.
