Mr Hodgson blames several factors forcing him to shut down: loss of mature softwood forest for him to cut, poor prices paid by the mills for wood, high costs and a shortage of workers. Indeed, as woodlot owner and contractor Tom Miller points out in his letter to the editor (pasted below), these are real issues facing forestry workers.

Celebrating our Acadian Forest through ideas, information and images. Monthly Archives: January 2012. Sustainable forestry or successful greenwashing? January 25, 2012. Ever wondered what’s behind the eco-labels we see on paper and wood products? I’ve been critical of some forestry operations in Nova Scotia that were SFI-certified, particularly a cut by Northern Pulp Corp near Upper Musquodobit, NS. The photos I took reminded some people of images of World War I. Click here to see them. I phoned the comp...

Aldo Leopold, a grandparent of the modern conservation movement, remarked that the definition of a conservationist is written better with an axe than a pen. A conservationist is one who is humbly aware that with each stroke he is writing his signature on the face of his land, offered Leopold. Of course, Nova Scotia...

Celebrating our Acadian Forest through ideas, information and images. March 19, 2015. Healthy Forests = Vibrant Streams and Clean Drinking Water. Why are healthy forests and water so intricately connected? Trees provide shade that helps keep streams cool. Trout and salmon, for example, suffer when water temperatures rise. Tree roots prevent erosion, keeping sediment from clogging stream beds and smothering fish eggs. Dead trees that fall into streams create ideal pools and shaded hiding spots...Important...

Celebrating our Acadian Forest through ideas, information and images. Monthly Archives: August 2013. NDP Government’s Whole-tree Harvesting Announcement. August 23, 2013. Does it make sense for Nova Scotia to ban this practice, rather than regulate it? The Department of Natural Resources listed several studies in its discussion paper on whole-tree harvesting. Conspicuous by its absence is the very study that the Department commissioned to investigate the impact of whole-tree harvesting on Nova Scotia...

Celebrating our Acadian Forest through ideas, information and images. February 12, 2015. A Beech Tree and a Rare Genetic Trait. A Beech Tree and a Rare Genetic Trait. While walking in the Lambs Lake Nature Reserve, near Annapolis Royal, I spied a large, old-growth beech tree. Its massive girth caught my eye first (I could reach only about half way around it), but its smooth bark is what made me look twice. In that tree’s genetic make-up, I knew, there lay a rare and special genetic trait. Next post →.
