Thinning the forest should bring in just under $30,000
BONFIELD — It’s harvest time at Bonfield’s red pine plantation, which stands just north of the township’s landfill site at 185 Bluesea Road. Ann Carr, the municipality’s public works manager, explained that 475 trees are ready to become hydro poles, and the harvest should bring in an estimated $28,500 to municipal coffers.
Not that all of that money will be tucked away, as it will cost the municipality $20 to harvest each tree, for a total cost of $9,500, Carr said. “We’ve never done a harvest” for poles, Carr explained, adding that the municipality has contracted out some maintenance for the plantation, and six years ago, some harvesting was done but not for hydro poles.
