Where in Canada is logging most Common?
By: Ben and Markus
In Canada logging is a very common thing for the economy to make money. If you don't know logging is the process of cutting down trees and transporting them to saw mills where wood products can be made. Logging has given us humans many great things, desks, doors, tables, shelves, and anything made from wood, it all came from logging.
There are 3 kinds of logging, shelter-wood cutting, clear wood, and selective cutting. Shelter-wood cutting is when loggers will clear a patch of trees and leave a patch. Clear wood cutting is when loggers remove all trees from a forest. Selective cutting is when loggers only cut certain types, sizes, and ages of trees. As you can probably imagine, all kinds of logging have pros and cons.

The most logging in Canada is the BC Interior it’s has 94% of logging in Canada, Canada is ranked number one in the world on making the most money from logging, that number is around 17 billion dollars comes from trading to other countries.
Logging helps the Canadian economy make a lot of money but can also hurt the environment very much. Which is exactly why we should log, but we have to control how much we log and make sure we are replanting for the future, otherwise we will run out of trees.
