Absolutely. This does not require any technology development.
We have incredible professional foresters, and I would argue that we need a lot more, given the size of our resource. Germany, for example, has a dramatically higher number of professional foresters relative to their forest land base. It is important to remember that forestry is a registered profession, just like engineering and just like being a lawyer. We have great training schools. I was fortunate to attend the University of British Columbia in their faculty of forestry, but we have great ones across the country.
Every professional forester I speak with is just beside themselves in terms of finding markets for low-grade wood and being able to do management of forestry for the forest. I think it's important to recognize on the bioenergy side that when we talk about solid wood products, bioenergy allows you to manage a forest for the forest. You need to have a market for that low-grade wood. We can't forget that not all trees are created equal.
What the Nordics are doing is going in every five to 10 years and removing the low-grade trees, because they're thinking about the long-term health and vitality of that forest, but you have to have a market for that. If we only have markets for saw logs and we only have saw logs, that's actually not permitted on Crown land, because it's high-grading. It's reducing the genetic quality of the forest. We have to have a market not only for the residues but for that low-grade wood that is bug-infested, diseased and dying. Trees need light and space to grow, and it is humans who come in and have a very positive impact with our skill sets and with our rural communities.
