It's worth noting that the birds Donna is most concerned about - those of "=
unfragmented, closed canopy, mature and generally late-successional forest"=
 - are the ones essentially not protected by newly elaborated L&F's "Variab=
le Retention" harvests. View=C2=A0=C2=A0recent posts on www.nsforestnotes.c=

- "When is a Clearcut still a Clearcut?" in Nova Scotia 26Feb2019

- Evidently, Nova Scotia L&F considers adherence to the Interim Retention G=
uidelines as equivalent to Not Clearcutting 25Feb2019

Kudos to Bev Wigney's concept of getting people out exploring our Crown lan=
d forests generally, not just those about to be chopped up. If there is any=
 hope of finally really changing forest management in NS, it will require p=
opular support as its quite clear=C2=A0=C2=A0that reasoned argument alone i=
