To all who speak for the trees: You're off the hook. You have a free weekend! I expect many of you are actually very busy, as summers in Nova Scotia usually are which is why we are postponing the July 15th meeting to the fall. Since there is action taking place, as I write, on many issues regarding Nova Scotia forests, the acting executive (termed loosely) of the Forests Caucus of the Nova Scotia Environmental Network are keeping their ears to the ground to provide you with periodic updates on important issues such as the Integrated Resource Management (IRM or protected wilderness areas) process, the European Brown Spruce Beetle and Point Pleasant Park, the Forest Stewardship Council, the Nova Forest Alliance, and any other pertinant information regarding the forests. The acting executive consists of Kim Thompson and Pam Langille of the Eastern Shore Forest Watch, and myself, Anna McCarron of the Shubenacadie Watershed Environmental Protection Society. In turn, we are looking to you to provide us with your thoughts on the issues listed above or on any other issues you would like the membership to know about. To do this, please contact me (Anna) via email. I can circulate them to a very long list (114 and growing daily) of people who are on the Forests Caucus mailing list. Watch next week for updates on the progress on some of these issues. If anyone is interested in getting involved with the IRM process please contact Kermit deGooyer <kdegooyer@hotmail.com>. If you're interested in the the PPP Beetle issue, please contact Christine Anne Smith email: EnvSmith@chebucto.ns.ca or call her directly at 443-9768. Christine has offered to coordinate names and skills of people who want to take direct action. Looking forward to hearing from you about your thoughts on the direction of the Forests Caucus of the NSEN.

Don't forget ... COPYRIGHT material, such as newspaper/magazine articles cannot be posted on sust-mar without the owner's permission. It's against the law. CROSS-POSTINGS (messages from other lists) are also discouraged. In either case, why not tell us something about the issue in your own words? Or ... send a clipping along with the URL where the original can be found, or directions how to join the list it came from? Takes a few more minutes, but makes for a more interesting sust-mar ... :)
