CANADIAN TREE HUGGERS

As we approach the United Nations International Day of Forests on March 21, Canada can feel proud that its forest products industry has become a world leader in environmental credentials. I'll sleep easy now.

  1. In honour of this UNIDF, I promise that the only thing you'll hear in our bush today is an echo...a model CS051 Echo, to be exact.

    1. I like the sound of Stihlness in the timber.

    2. And I'm kind of a Pioneer when it comes to taking care of the bush

  2. These reductions in emissions make perfect sense. Within the cost-effective trucking region around me, the 100+ year pulp and paper mill is gone, and four long-established sawmills have shut down as well. The only local wood market left is for residential home heating. Rural landowners have been clearing their bush, and might sort out some heavy hardwoods for stovewood, but young stuff, coniferous and lightweight deciduous trees all go into a brushpile to burn. Probably no geenhouse gases in that stuff though.
