Ganaraska Forest Timber Harvest Season Begins Again
The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) completes scheduled, selective harvest of Red Pine plantations in the Ganaraska Forest each year. These logging operations, guided by the Forest Management Plan, facilitate the growth of native tree species, like Red Oak, White Pine and Sugar Maple, all of which were included in the initial landscape restoration plans when the Forest was being planted over 80 years ago. Operations will take place across the West Forest, including a combination of selective thinning and final removals, remaining active until February 28, 2026.
