Whole-tree harvesting operation, Caribou Mines, NS.
Five Hundred Thousand People, yes 500,000, petitioned the British Government in the UK to stop a sell-off of State owned forest. Amidst the huge outcry the government backed down. Out of those 500,000 voices I imagine very few were voices of foresters. But, hey, since when was there a God given right that those who grow and cut down trees for profit can ride rough-shod over the rest of us - those of us who grow trees for their life giving properties and their natural beauty. Is it time to stand up and say enough is enough? And if the Crown owns the forests should not they be looked after and protected in the best interests of the people? The Crowns subjects. Check out the blog thread at the green interview.
