I would say this is a big deal. The Chief Forester for West Fraser BC operations out of Quesnel, Jeff Mycock, toying with the idea of more deciduous as part of... "holistic, adaptive sustainable forest management paradigm" to address the fact "our forests are not climate adapted." First off, it’s awesome to see a forester at the highest levels of a large corporation with intelligence, ethics, and common sense, but the Mycocks I know (I don’t know Jeff) are from the North and the bush and so understand it better than a book trained forester from the city. The question of growing more deciduous is the very last point he makes in his presentation. This follows a bleak portrayal of our failed forest management regime that has created a "lack of landscape level diversity" with "very high fire hazards." He hints at deciduous earlier where he says we have "too many suppressed trees." It's true. We have carpets of even-aged, high-density pine plantations where we stripped out the fire-resistant deciduous component. And we are still doing it! We have an army of treeplanters out there carpeting more of the landscape with this grand experiment of singular monocrop focus as we speak. We will still be hacking down thousands of hectares of fire resistant aspen this summer across the Central Interior. Of course West Fraser is responsible for a lot of this. There are huge stretches of pine monoculture, disease-prone fire traps from the Blackwater River to the South Cariboo they created. But by the same token they are just following the totalitarian anti-aspen rules Victoria arbitrarily made. And West Fraser has pushed for more aspen allowance in the Chilcotin area and they at least are making some public noises about the urgent need for a new paradigm. It shows the failure of our government and our bureaucrats, our district foresters, for them to sit by silently and lift not a single finger, keeping the same idiotic rules on the book, while corporate foresters are the only ones seeing the writing on the wall. Now let's see Canfor and their chief silviculture foresters make a similar, enlightened, soul-searching presentation and perhaps we will see government change their position. It's honestly mind-boggling people don't see what is happening to our forests. Jeff does. So have we. We are setting ourselves up for massive failure and the government is completely AWOL and thinks more of the same is the answer. Presentation here. Last few minutes talk about lack of adaptation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcl_zRBT5eE

Wow what a day! A bunch of us showed up at the forestry office and even though the office was abandoned due to a COVID outbreak, pretty sure we got our message... out to government. We got coverage in almost all the PG media and some regional coverage on the CBC. So proud of our local MLA Mike Morris who came out and addressed the crowd and thankful to Peter Ewart for his rousing speech and Mackenzie Kerr for braving the cold with no gloves and getting the crowd fired up. Also thanks to Dennis Loxton for talking about the promise of sheep grazing as an altenative to glyphosate and Gerd Erasmus for sharing his perspectives as a trapper and his decades in the bush and what he has seen glyphosate do to it. They kill wildlife trees, guys! The ones they leave behind. It can all get sprayed. Government responded to it with the usual act of disrespecting the north. Saying we only spray 0.044% of the province's timbered land-base in a year, but not telling journalists what that number is in the Prince George Forest District. If you look at the ratio of what is sprayed to planted, it is 12% for the most recent statistics in our region. That number was 26% for Prince George South 10 years ago. If you visit Canfor's tenure in the North Fraser area, that figure is probably even higher, at least according to our survey along the Pass Lake Road. Our area is getting the crap sprayed out of it, some areas in particular. The majority of provincial spraying is done in our backyard. And they hammer the deciduous, which is already a relatively rare forest type on the landscape. Why doesn't Victoria acknowledge that with some honest statistics? Instead of their games? The answer to that question is why we chose the Ministry office as our location of protest today. They need to be reminded they work for the public, not the corporations. Not a bad location either. Lots of visibility from Ospika and lots of parking across the road at the CN centre. Even had a crosswalk for us. May have to do it again! https://www.cbc.ca//prince-george-glysophate-stop-the-spra lots of photos with this one: https://www.princegeorgematters.com//photos-rally-opposes- https://ckpgtoday.ca//protesters-gather-for-anti-glyphosa/ https://www.princegeorgecitizen.com//rally-against-glyphos
