Burns Lake area hit hard by pine beetle, but sufficient timber might justify expense
CBC News – January 26, 2012
….A once richly forested area, Burns Lake is located among the province’s woodlands that have been devastated by the pine beetle infestation. When asked directly if there’s enough timber to make it worth the company’s while, B.C.’s Chief Forester, Jim Snetsinger, hedged his bets. “The simple answer is, there is no simple answer,” Snetsinger told CBC News. “We’re in the wake of a mountain pine beetle epidemic and it’s affected a large part of the timber supply.”
