The Model Forest of Newfoundland & Labrador, encompassing 923,000 hectares of boreal forest in western Newfoundland, stretches south from the northern boundary of Gros Morne National Park and east from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Limited manages most of the land in the Model Forest area. The forest’s dominant tree species include balsam fir, black spruce, jack pine, trembling aspen, white birch and white spruce.
