--Boundary_(ID_j8/erLrO+Nw+OINyIQcVCw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi everyone: Jim Nunn hosts the upcoming Land and Sea show, *Nova Scotia's Forest Future*, at 12:30 pm on Sunday, March 18. Be sure to watch, or get those VCRs/TiVOs ready. Based on what we've seen on the forestry features airing this week on the News At Six, put together jointly by the two shows, it's going to be a challenging and provocative show, which strongly echoes the Ecology Action Centre's Standing Tall campaign's key themes -- the connection between the health of our forest habitats and the forestry that takes place in them, the need for diversity in both economics and environment, the utter lack of sustainability in the push to get more softwood fibre out of our forests over the past decades. A wonderful 3 minute piece on clearcutting in south-west Nova Scotia aired last night. It's the STORY OF THE DAY on today's CBC Nova Scotia's web site; go to http://www.cbc.ca/ns/ and look on the right side of the web page, under FEATURES. It followed a very good summary of challenges facing the hardwood sector on Wednesday, and an overview of the economic crisis in the Canadian forest industry on Tuesday. TONIGHT, Friday, News at Six features Tom Miller, past-president of the Nova Scotia Woodlot Owners & Operators Association, winner of the 2005 provincial Woodlot Owner of the Year Award, and a strong spokesperson for managing woodlots for true Acadian Forest. Here's the synopsis for the Land and Sea episode: -------------------------- Nova Scotia's Forest Future In the past two years twenty-three pulp mills shut down in Canada. The jobs went to China, India and Brazil and twenty- three communities are now reeling from the impact. Nova Scotia's pulp mills are also facing the international pressures of cheaper wages and pulp in third world countries, of a decline in the demand for newsprint and other paper products and increasing energy costs. Some analysts predict that the end of the age of pulp for Canada is not too far away. Land and Sea examines how fifty years of forest practices that fed the pulp industry created a forest that is very different from its original state. We hear from people with ideas of what we can do now that will help the forest regain some of its original diversity while at the same time creating wealth and jobs. ------------------------- And if you've liked what you've heard, take a moment to drop a line to producer Marie Thompson, <Marie_Thompson@cbc.ca>, and let her know. I suspect there will be a chorus of protest from the forest products industry and DNR, so let's make sure CBC knows there are supporters out there! cheers, Joanne __________________________________ Joanne Cook (mailto:forests2@ecologyaction.ca) Coordinator, Standing Tall Campaign for Environmentally Responsible Forestry, Ecology Action Centre, Halifax, Nova Scotia. 902.429.1335 (voice); 902.422.6410 (fax). http://www.novascotiaforests.ca & http://www.ecologyaction.ca * Do not meddle with the Forces of Nature, for you are small, insignificant, and biodegradable. * --Boundary_(ID_j8/erLrO+Nw+OINyIQcVCw) Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; = -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT = class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Geneva" size=3D"4"><SPAN = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: 14px;">Hi = everyone:</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal = normal normal 14px/normal Geneva; min-height: 19px; "><BR = class=3D"khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal = normal normal 14px/normal Geneva; min-height: 19px; ">Jim Nunn hosts the = upcoming Land and Sea show, *Nova Scotia's Forest Future*, at 12:30 pm = on Sunday, March 18.
