Hi Angus and All,
Traffic on NatureNS has become overwhelming.
If Swift activity or noteworthy nests were located in a block
scheduled for cutting how large an island of trees would have to be left
to avoid disturbance ?
I am wondering if the potential conflict between logging and
nesting activity could be neutralized by clear marking (by interested
bird watchers) of nesting/roosting activity.
DW, Kentville

Great interview. Scott Leslie did an exceptional job stating the
value of this block of land and the importance of paying the
same consideration to other similar forest blocks due to be cut.
However lots of other aspects to consider including jobs,
machinery used, etc. </div>

As many of you know, I've been quite involved for some
