Hi Dave P. & All,
I think we should continue to push for selective cutting of
woodland as the norm and clear cutting as the rare exception. The
minister says this has happened but ground truth verification is indicated.
Selective cutting makes it possible to have continuous forest cover
over time, thus decreasing erosion, loss of diversity, runoff and bald
patches while increasing productivity over time. It is a no brainer and
can be done using mechanical harvesters.
From your post I gather that this would also decrease Lyme Disease
hazard. I hope some agency is working on a injection to ward off Lyme
Disease.
Yt, Dave W., Kentville
