Slash Pile Burning
Mechanized full-tree logging is the preferred harvesting system
in Northern Ontario. These operations typically involve
roadside delimbing, producing large quantities of slash at
roadsides and landings.
Slash pile burning involves gathering the slash into concentrated
areas and subsequently burning it in piles.
Slash pile burning is a very effective slash disposal method.
Eliminating roadside slash piles will recover land for forest
production and reduce wildfire hazard.
