Gorman: Guderly goes for hat trick...

3/14/2017

CBC's Michael Gorman throws the HFC gauntlet down on WestFor's path to an unheard of 10-year lease.  The 13 mill consortium has their eyes on the people of Nova Scotia's Western Crown Lands, that is the lands we bought back from Bowater-Mersey in an effort to change the way forestry is practiced in this province.  Fat chance. The DNR and its Minister Hines seems bent on granting WestFor's wishes.  Check out Gorman's take here.

This land was purchased for the people, not the mills. Simple!
Let the people manage it.

First we should ask the premier for a moratorium on all clear-cutting so that we can all put our heads together for a better solution to "jobs" in the province.

This would be good NOW, as the birds are either migrating or nesting and all the animals and plants need the spring season undisturbed, more than other season.
We have to look seriously at alternative uses of the forest - NTFPs and Carbon offsets - more sustainable.
Then we have to look seriously at helping private woodlot owners find ways of making money rather than selling to logging companies or to people who will have no qualms about clear-cutting it for the money.
REMEMBER THE "SCIENTIFICALLY MANAGED COD FISHERY"!

Our forests can again become a great ecological and economic asset for Nova Scotia.
