We’ve been defrauding our forests, our moose, our resilience, our tourism, hunters, trappers and ranchers, for a shallow mindset of short-term greed that is delivering not even the jobs that were promised us today.

The industry is rapidly stripping us of that.

First of all, we didn’t plant only pine. We also planted Douglas fir and spruce, sometimes half the trees planted. But many didn’t take. Once we sprayed out the birch and aspen, under which Douglas fir and spruce can grow, we gave the upper hand to the pine. The pine took off, especially south and west of town.

The maximum deciduous forest allowed under every major Forest Stewardship Plan in the Central Interior is only five per cent of a cutblock.

Well written.

Maybe they need to quit spaying herbacides . That would help tremendously
