The partnership is negotiating a new forest management agreement(FMA) with the Province of Saskatchewan. During 1998 the new FMA went through an extensive review process and is expected to be finalized within the next few months. The FMA covers an area of almost 1. 1 million productive hectares and includes hardwood and softwood to supply the partnership's mills. 1, record 2, English, - forest%20management%20agreement

This option involves removing more than 50% of the tree basal area and is used if the stand is heavily damaged and/or recovering timber value is the main goal. High light reaches the forest floor, often leading to extremely dense regeneration... Heavy cutting may also lead to more abundant slash, damage or mortality of residual trees, and removal of hardwood species, leading to hardwood sprouts from the cut stumps. 3, record 3, English, - heavy%20cutting
