(3) All log timber stacked on bush landings which meets the specifications of a saleable log, is sold by the Forest Products Commission (FPC) under contract. There will however always be a small portion of below specification log timber which remains on bush landings, the FPC continues to seek buyers for such material as markets permit. (4) The remaining log timber will be sold by the Forest Products Commission if/when markets are found.
(4) The remaining log timber will be sold by the Forest Products Commission if/when markets are found.
