The merchantable timber on the Reserve was surrendered for sale in 1926. At that time, it was estimated that there were about 30,000 cords of spruce pulpwood on the Reserve, although no full timber cruise (assessment by a qualified forester) was conducted. A five-year contract for cutting of this timber was awarded to Charles W. Cox in December of that year. The contract required that payment be made by the cord, in accordance with the 1923 Timber Regulations.

Board of Trustees

The Ginoogaming First Nation Timber Claim Trust was established in April of 2002, following negotiations and an agreement between Ginoogaming First Nation and the Government of Canada for compensation resulting from illegal taking of timber on Long Lake Reserve #77.
