New $19.6-million program aims to promote innovation in the forestry sector
The province says its new $19.6-million Forest Biomass Program will promote innovation and jobs in Ontario’s forestry sector.
This application-based program will “help develop untapped economic potential and environmental benefits offered by new and emerging uses of underutilized wood and mill by-products, known as forest biomass.” The government said the program was built based on feedback from the public Indigenous communities and industry stakeholders.
“The Forest Biomass Program will support projects to harvest more wood from Crown forests, increase forest sector job creation and regional economic growth and find new uses for wood in collaboration with stakeholders, industry and Indigenous communities,” the province said in a news release.
