Greetings all!

Point Pleasant Park and the cutting of trees are back in the news again.
Those of you who continue to be interested in this topic may wish to take
a look at a new article of mine which Dalhousie University's on-line
journal, Biotype has just published in it's June issue. It is thorough
rebuttal of Anthony Ricciardi's attack on the position of environmental
groups in relation to this issue. 

It is also an examination of a number of the salient biological issues
related to the BSLB, as well as considering matters pertaining to the
intersection of science and public policy, questions on what constitutes a
pest, and how to apply the precautionary principle. The article is
entitled "Straw Men and Missed Opportunities" and is available at:

http://biotype.biology.dal.ca/biotype/2001/jun01/cmajka.html

I hope it represents both an ecological and environmental perspective on
this issue.

Best wishes,

Christopher Majka
