Dear Friends:

Our colleague Ray Plourde from the Ecology Action Centre has released a detailed critique of the Lahey Report on forestry practices.

The Lahey report was released to Government in August of this year. As of today no comments have been received from Government.

Here are links to Ray’s critique, a critique from Healthy Forests Coalition and the Lahey Report itself.

• The Healthy Forest Coalition’s review: https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/opinion/opinion-its-imperative-to-embrace-ecological-forestry-approach-245498/

Excellent reading.

With thanks to Ray and also the Health Forest Coalition.
