Hello again,
My Windows 10 Laptop continues to be a source of grief.
In other but related news I started to write about the following=20
item which recently was brought to my attention and could not continue=20
entry. Now by forwarding the initial entry I see that I can scroll below=20
and add to this forwarded message. Strange but true.

Subject: An economic and labor intensive alternative to machine=20
intensive clear cuts
Hello:
https://forestsinternational.org/news/post/cap-and-trade-could-mean-million=
s-for-ns-rural-communities
The above link describes an approach which just might deliver=20
forestry in NS from the insane idea that best management consists of=20
mowing everything 24 hours a day, 365.25 days a year so as to generate=20
maximum profit per minute with no thought of tomorrow.
I am not sure how they figure carbon credits, fiber harvested for=20
lumber or fuel on a sound wood volume basis would be one way, but this=20
approach would involve selective cutting (extracting fiber while keeping=20
the forest) in a labor-intensive manner. Thus such practices as horse=20
logging, felling by chainsaw and actually generating employment while=20
clearing windfalls or thinning for better growth could be profitable as=20
opposed to dependent upon owners prepared to eat large losses; few stick=20
around for seconds.
So I very much hope that this rational approach will be supported by=
=20
those opposed to clear cuts because it over time could achieve that and=20
much more; such as curtailing rural out-migration and sale of family=20
woodlots at fire sale prices to clear cut interests. And to the extent=20
it takes root, it might even generate rural in-migration and best of all=20
give life to the "Small is Beautiful" concept.
