"Quoteworthy
Quotes"
" We need more people and fewer
companies involved in the forestry process community participation
along with environmental people and practical logging
personnel. Contrary to many opinions we have
people who would and could do what is needed."
Merv Wilkinson
A Matter of Method
"In only four and one half
decades since my school days in Shelton, timber based
communities of the North West, from Northern California
to Southern Alaska, have either all but disappeared
or have suffered a steep decline in prospects.
Most of the ancient forests on private land have been
clearcut, and most of the forests on public land have
been too. ...
Everything is cut down, even small stuff....
The emphasis has always been on controlling nature.
Visiting an area once covered with natural forest, which
has been given this treatment, can be deeply troubling
to someone not desensitized by involvement in the process."
Remembering the Ecological Wisdom
of Ancient Forests & Elders
"We have been trying to make the forest fit the
mills. What we need to do now is manage the forest for
the health and vigour of naturally occurring species
and design an industrial strategy to make best use of
and maximize employment from the products of this natural
forest."

Word
Bank Report identifies greed and lack of
understanding of the priciple of sustainability as major
roadblock to sustainable forest management practices
in Canada.
" the main forest management
problems in forests that are privately owned, concern
the overharvesting of what is becoming a declining
resource and a lack of interest in long-term forest
stewardship practices;
these problems arise partly
due to a lack of understanding about the principles
of sustainable forest management and the desire to
make "fast money"; and
there is a lack of silvicultural
programs and government planning to address these
problems." Read
