The North Shore Forest Products Marketing Board is an organization founded to give all the private woodlot owners bargaining power in negotiations, to sell his/her wood at the best possible price to all available markets and to encourage good woodlot management practices.Now the struggle is not only to obtain a fair price, but we also need to assure that we do not eliminate our resource. We must restructure to plan for the future, by education and information to ensure that we will have a supply of wood for the market, and a viable resource. We need to expand our sylviculture program, plus we need to respect our annual allowable cut to ensure sustainability.We use the levies (check-off fees) to operate our office, pay our debt and to meet our costs for the expanding sylviculture activities. It is important that we take immediate measures to increase the amount of wood available for market in the years ahead and one way of accomplishing this is to have a viable sylviculture program. With this as a goal, the owners have set the check-off levies at $1.75 per cord or equivalent measure for the administrative costs and at 1% of the mill-delivered price to fund the sylvicuture activities.
