As discussed in a previoius article about the logging of the fire guards near Esler the residual logging material has been piled waiting for processing for use at Atlantic Power (AP).

I also notice some smaller residual logging piles near the private lands west of the fire guards which I thought may also be prepared for use at the AP.

With the ongoing discussions about how to meet the fibre shortfall at AP I was surprised to see the piles had been burned and not processed even though they were only a couple of kilometers from the larger pile.
