For all of these monitors computer. Everything here is organized so that each tree receives exactly the amount of water it needs to grow. Thus trees grow at an incredible rate, with no loss of water and cost-effectively.
The use of chemicals is limited because use special system of integrated insect control.
Sawdust and waste from felling go back into the soil, limiting the need to use chemical fertilizers.
This type of lesoferme grown trees, which is called the Pacific Albus. This patented name, which translates as White Pacific tree.
This is a hybrid of 4-5 different species of poplars that grow faster and straighter than other trees, it uses less water and less cost.
To achieve adulthood trees takes only 10-12 years, after which they were cut down and sent to the sawmill, where they make the boards and chips. The chips used in the manufacture of paper, and more old and tall trees felled for lumber.
Any part of the tree from which the board can not be made, converted into pulp or wood chips. Even the sawdust from sawmills is compressed into bricks for fireplaces and stoves.
Felling of trees rely on various independent companies.
Joe Nash, responsible for the felling of trees and the assembly, said that on a normal day they download up to 25 saw logs plus about 25 logs going to the crop.
As a result, they get about 65 logs, which they delivered to the sawmill.
Sawmill Company GreenWood Resources is in the center lesofermy and recycles material from the 809 hectares of land every year.
Then recycled materials are sold in many different countries. The largest buyers are China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Mexico.
