Conifex harvests commercially viable timber stands with due care and consideration for other forest resources and uses.  We practice sustainable logging practices, taking into consideration all the other non-timber values that are present.  We minimise soil disturbance through judicious equipment use, monitoring of local weather and site conditions, and by harvesting at appropriate times of the year.   Using proven techniques we retain critical riparian habitat features as associated with streams, wetlands and lakes.  We preserve stand-specific wildlife habitat in the form of wildlife habitat areas and wildlife tree patches.  In addition, certain individual trees such as culturally modified trees (CMT) and wildlife trees are also retained. Other areas are preserved to meet visual quality objectives (VQO) for scenic and recreational values.

Our harvest activities are currently focused in Supply Block C in order to address Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) infected stands.   MPB attacks live healthy lodgepole pine trees and its impacts on the Interior forests of BC are well documented.  It is unknown how long this timber will retain commercial usefulness (shelf-life) and in fact in some areas the dead pine is already virtually unusable for lumber production.  Conifex is actively seeking alternate uses for this wood, primarily in the production of bioenergy and biomass fuels.  Other species such as spruce and balsam remain relatively intact and are expected to largely provide for our fibre needs over the next several decades, until the infected stands can be replaced with new regeneration.
