Devotees at Vedic Eco Village in Saranagati, Western Canada, headed by Ramanath, have invested in a portable sawmill this summer and have set it up in the centre of the Gurukula Colony.
Vedic Eco Village is surrounded by forest much of which needs to be cleared as part of Forest Management to help in the healthy growth of the forest as well as to help prevent forest fires. In Western Canada last year alone wildfires destroyed 1.2 million hectares of forest with 1,300 fires engulfing the province between April and November costing B.C. more than $ 574 million, the largest total area burnt in a fire season in recorded history (1.3 % of BC total area) and the largest single fire ever in British Columbia.
