Minimal Disturbance Techniques

Devon has minimized environmental disturbance by reducing the width of access roads in forested areas as much as 50 per cent. Waste wood is then turned in to mulch and used for road construction instead of being burned. The technique was developed to reduce the permanent environmental impact of traditional roads. Construction and reclamation costs are also reduced. Once the road is no longer required, the mulch is collected and reused on another project. Devon is a founding member of the Evergreen Centre for Resource Excellence and Innovation to promote minimal disturbance techniques.
