Clearcut

When a clear-cut is re-planted, it grows back as a tree farm to be cut again, not as a forest. Animals and vegetation do not return.

Chronology of Events: 2006

Fall: After Abitibi closed its Kenora Mill, the province called for new companies to enter bids to cut the wood previously allocated to that mill. The people of Grassy Narrows were not consulted.
