<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I would like your advice on setting up a partnership between FortisBC (electricity services) and a tree network who would find value in fallen trees and woodchips in south central British Columbia. FortisBC removes
approximately 3000 trees and various shrubbery every year to maintain safe access to our electric lines. M</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">ost of our electric service territory is rural and the number of trees would skew towards the Kootenays.
T</span><span style="color:black">he varieties would be mostly pine and fir. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The FortisBC electric service territory serves approximately over 176,000 customers throughout south central BC, including Kelowna, Osoyoos, Trail, Castlegar, Princeton and Rossland and approximately 48,500 customers
in the communities of Summerland, Penticton, Grand Forks, and Nelson. The company owns and operates approximately 7,200 kilometres of transmission and distribution power lines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If you could direct me to anyone or networks who would be interested in these trees and/or free wood chips in these areas that would be much appreciated. Much of the shrubbery and some trees would be chipped on
the removal site. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
