Wind Events Sample Clauses

Wind Events. Severe windstorms, thunder storms, tornados, heavy winds etc. have the potential to create areas of blow down or wind throw which are areas of blown down trees. In some situations the trees remain in tact and in other situations the trees are broken depending on the severity and intensity of the wind storm. This occurs on a variety of scales ranging from individual trees to large areas measured in hectares where all the trees have been flattened. In situations where large areas have been blown down these areas become primary targets for salvage operations to maximize the use of the blow down fibre before it no longer is suitable for forest resource processing facility operations.
