Clearcutting

Picture
Nova Scotia's official Natural Resources Strategy,  The Path We Share, says the province will reduce clearcutting on Crown lands to no more than 50% of the total by 2016.  Instead, over 90% is being clearcut.  While it may be the best practice in some circumstances, the huge preponderance of clearcutting is a result of market pressures, not wise forest management.  The deleterious effects are well documented and long lasting.  Just take a read of some of the documents posted here.
