I was on a business trip up through NB this past week and then on to Ontari=
o. Pulp mills up in Dalhousie and campbellton and elsewhere have closed and=
are closing. This won't help the forests though. Interests from India are =
buying up the rights to make Rayon for clothing. The NB Appalachians have h=
ad a lot of forestry (read deforestry) pressure on them. I stayed overnight=
at a B&B outside Saint Quentin and in the early evening went for a walk al=
ong the dirt road outside. The right sidee of the road had a short strip of=
original mixed forest left intact. The left side was a monoculture plantat=
ion of pines. The birds singing on my right hand side were incredible and i=
ncluded several hermit thrush. The left side was dead silent. Had a similar=
experience in the evening here in Cornwall=2C ont where I'm staying now. T=
here is an extensive park along the river which was entirely wild and full =
of all kinds of different native plants and wildflowers and fireflies every=
where at night when I was a child. They tore it up and made it a lawn with =
a few trees and on patch of native garden right at the end of it. We walked=
the whole way at night and it wasn't until we reached the native plantings=
that we saw fireflies.
