Dear All, July 15, 2007
The figure keeps popping up that less than 0.01 per cent of NS
forests are old growth. The latest instance is in a Sunday Herald
article article (Knox on wood, Novascotian July 15).
Now 0.01 percent would be an area of only 2.04 sq miles (20,402 sq
mi land area/ 10,000) so one can be reasonably sure the original figure
was 1%. Does anyone know who established this figure and on what basis ?
Also in Saturday's paper an article on Trout Point Lodge in the
Tobeatic wilderness area caught my eye; not exactly wilderness camping.
I have memories of people who had 2-nd & 3-rd generation camps in the
Tobeatic (?) who were forced to move out or tear down. Or was this
somewhere else ?
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
