Description: These pulpwood logs being dumped down the sluice into the Madawaska River just north of Edmundston are arriving at the end of their journey, from the managed forests of Fraser Companies Limited to the company's pulp and paper mill in Edmundston. This wood was harvested in the Green River watershed and brought from the Davis Mill haul-up on Green River to this dumping spot.
