Both mulchers and biomass grinders will be working at DEMO 2012. Here the Duchesnay Forestry School’s Rotobec forwarder clears timber off the CMI-GB Equipment site where the manufacturer’s mulcher line will run. Following the conference, DEMO In-ternational 2012 will hit the hills outside Saint-Raymond from September 20-22. Situated a pleasant one-hour drive from Quebec City, the Portneuf region is one of the province’s best-kept secrets, and will be ablaze with fall colours during the show. The event is presented by the Canadian Woodlands Forum, hosted by the Solifor Group, and produced by Master Promotions. The official media partner and exclusive show guide pro-vider will once again be Canadian Forest Industries and Opérations forestières et de scierie with Canadian Biomass serving as media support to promote the event. The DEMO 2012 organizing com-mittee and exhibitors were on site Octo-ber 26-27 to detail plans for everything from hotel blocks and shuttles to park-ing, safety and activities. At the same time, students from the local Duchesnay Forestry School and logging contractor Foresterie CHB Ltd. were on site clear-ing timber and making landings accord-ing to exhibitor specifications. There will be no shortage of bio-mass-based gear among both active and static exhibitors, covering harvesting, grinding/chipping, and transport.
