We are harvesting specialists, but we also work in collaboration with the large companies. If we don't get any help, we are going to lose this expertise. We are very specialized and, as the companies close down, we are gradually dying. It's inevitable. In the short term, there won't be anyone to take over.
We've thought about redirecting our activities towards harvesting biomass for heating, generating electricity and so on. Though it's not really promoted much. We could do forestry harvesting and reforestation for carbon capture. But if we want to renew ourselves, we can't change our equipment tomorrow morning. This is specialized equipment. We'd need to get help and the companies would also need it.
The companies tell us that we have to transform forestry so that it is compatible with the new CSA, ISO and FSC standards. We work in collaboration with them. It's a matter of meeting the demands of the clients and the company. We're really partners. We are the forestry foundation. If we're not there to cut down trees, no company is going to continue its activities because there won't be any raw material. We'd like to get some help to get through this crisis. Times are tough, and we have to keep our expertise going.
