This campaign is organized by Marilyn Cameron, a small woodlot owner and a farmer in Kings County, N.S. Below is a note from Marilyn on creating this project:
Dozens of forest-related organizations across the province have been reporting how distressing it is to witness the deterioration of our forests' health and wildlife populations in our province from industrial forestry practises. Several years of drought during the growing season is creating concern within farming communities about the impacts that extensive tree removal (and the resultant disruption to water recycling) may be having on climate change.
It is time to do something to help stop the forestry industry from wiping out our forests on crown land by clear cutting.
With the cooperation of several organizations and a myriad of concerned citizens, I have started a province-wide postcard campaign that is asking the Minister of Lands & Forestry to declare a moratorium on clear cutting of crown, and all other publicly owned, lands; to adopt the recommendations of the Lahey report; and protect endangered and at-risk species and their habitat. The campaign starts now and ends in early March 2021.
The postcard is bright and beautiful and the message on the reverse side is clear. A copy is attached for your review.
With your help our collective voices could have a major impact at the office of the Minister of Lands & Forestry when considering the future management of publicly owned crown lands.
Let's do this!
If you can help get some of these cards signed within your bubble of friends, family and associates I can then mail some to you directly. All you need to do is contact me and provide your mailing address and the number of cards you wish to take to have signed and sent.
If you have a Facebook site, please feel free to post the jpeg image of the front and back of the postcard on it.
