The Alberni Valley Community Forest is continuing to pay dividends for the City of Port Alberni. The community forest handed over a cheque for $100,000 to the city from its 2015 revenue. The AVCF is located by Sproat Lake, comprises 6,378 hectares and has an annual allowable cut of 18,156 cubic metres. “We’re into our second cut control period and so this cheque is from year two of that process,” said AVCF manager Chris Law. This is Law’s third year as manager. “Year two of that second cut control process was mostly planning and we had a little bit of harvesting at the end of 2015 which generated some revenue for the community forest.”
