BE INFORMED
Learn about forest issues by following the Nova Scotia Healthy Forest group on Facebook or by exploring this site, share the link with friends and colleagues (www.healthyforestcoalition.ca) and check out Jack Pine's Forest Notes, either here or via its own url (www.forestnotes.ca). Both are new sites dedicated to informing and advocating forest policy issues.
The Atlantic Forestry Review is a great source of information–encouraging and discouraging—about our forests and the industries that depend on them. You can find it out at your local library or at www.RuralLife.ca.
There’s more to the forests than trees. Nature Nova Scotia is a federation of provincial organizations dedicated to protecting and learning about our natural heritage. Its websites http://naturens.ca and http://nature1st.net/naturens will help you find the specialist sites and organizations that most interest you.
JOIN AN ORGANIZATION
Politicians pay attention to organizations and the media looks to organizations for information and commentary on issues affecting our forests and wildlife. By joining organizations such as Nature Nova Scotia and the Ecology Action Centre https://ecologyaction.ca you strengthen the voice for forest reform.
BE SEEN AND HEARD
DNR officials believe that the forest companies are the only stakeholders where forest policy is concerned. Prove them wrong. Write to the Premier, your MLA and the leaders of opposition parties. Talk to your MLA. You can find their contact information HERE or through the government site at www.nslegislature.ca.
The media catches the attention of politicians. Urge your local radio station, the CBC and CTV, and your local paper to give better coverage to forest issues.
