Crown Lands Network News Release

The Crown Lands Network is please to announce the launch of its website
www.forestsfornb.org in English and www.nosforetsnb.org.  The website is
designed for New Brunswickers who wish to learn more about what's at stake
for the future of our Crown lands in light of  the recommendations of the
Jaakko Poyry Report.  

The Crown Lands Network is a network of organizations which  wish to see
the Crown lands  managed for public benefit, as is required of the
provincial government in its role as trustee for these lands and their
resources.  Whether they are tourism operators, conservation groups,
aboriginal people, fishing and hunting organizations, or unemployed
woodsworkers, the members of the Crown Lands Network are united in their
opposition to the recommendations of the Jaakko Poyryr Report.

The Crown Lands Network will maintain a presence near the Select Committee
hearing venues to distribute information, screen the video "Crown Lands: A
Public Trust", and discuss the issues with the public.  Following the
hearings, the Crown Lands Network hopes to publish a tabloid reflecting the
public input to the Select Committee.
