Thanks, Paul for reminding everyone-
The Forest Funeral is a ceremony to both celebrate the life of the
Acadian Forest, and also to mourn its great losses in Nova Scotia,
particularly in recent years.
*Old Man Luedecke *is going to sing *"Sad as a Forest*", a marvelous
song. Lee Keating, an early logger, woodsman, and guide is driving all
the way from Clyde River to sing his song about forest progress
(pointing to the great progress to the feller buncher over the axe...).
We have an array of amazing people who will say a few words in ode to
our great Acadian forest. Soren Bondrup-Nielsen will offer a lament to
forest wildlife; those species that suffer when forests are clearcut,
removing critical food sources and shelter along with the wood (which is
mostly going for chips from 40-50 year old stands). Bob Bancroft is
going to deliver a gripping Eulogy. I hear there will be moose, fisher,
marten, and forest birds in attendance. Where have you ever attended a
funeral with those present? It only makes sense to pay respects to
these species, since the critical loss of mature forests have caused the
demise of these and other wildlife species.
It's quite legacy we are leaving to our children.
People drive for hours to attend funerals of loved ones. Do we "love"
our forests and wildlife, or not?
