Members of the Wabauskang First Nation will soon start harvesting poplar trees and creating veneers for B.C. based Aspenware.The operation is being carried out in the Whiskey Jack Forest.
Company President Terry Bigsby says they have also teamed up with Doug Riffel, the owner of Makoose Wood Innovations.
Bigsby says this is only the beginning and notes he's already in talks for a similar venture with Grassy Narrows and Lac La Croix.
Aspenware produces single-use biodegradable wooden cutlery and at one time was thinking about setting up shop in the Dryden area.
