Herbicide spraying. Its conifer release, we spray the newly planted blocks to kill the overgrowth and give the new trees the sunlight they need. In the fall we fertalize the older trees.

Exactly. The cut blocks get replanted, we come in at a set time after the replant and kill the leafy trees so the little conifers can grow.

So I did some looking around, can't find the name of the lake, but it's close to Vidette Lake, downstream though.

It's a few miles west of Savona, turn right up Deadman/Vidette road, and approximately 21 kms later, you can see Mowich lake through the trees.
