His topic “Our Forests in Crisis” was so well received and is so pertinent to our lécal economy, that I asked him to be guest columnist this week. He began his address by identifying the points on which he wished to the very contribution made to the Canadian economy by the forest industry, the erosion of forest lands and its effects on the level of economic activity and the pressing need for a massive program of intensive forest management. “The size of the Canadian forest industry is larger,” he began, “than most Canadians realize. Over 300,000 of us are directly employed by the forest industry and ‘Forestry accounts for one million jobs out of just over 11 million in the whole workforce’ another 700,000 are indirectly employed by the same industry. That constitutes over one million jobs out of just over 11 million jobs in the whole workforce. “Moreover, the domestic and foreign sales of all forest products amount to $25 billion annually and from these sales the governments of Canada collect $2 billion in taxes. “Forestry is the major contributor to our net balance of trade and contributes more than twice as much as mining. In fact, it contributes more than mining, agricul ture, fisheries, and petroleum products combined. “In relation to the world, Canada has only 14 per cent of the supply of the world’s growing softwoods, yet we supply 44 per cent of the world softwood products market. Canada’s forest industry in terms of trade is perhaps the largest in the world, yet how many Canadians would rate forestry the No. 1 industry in Canada? If you have not thought of the forest industry as being of major importance it is because this resource is never given as much emphasis as other resources in this country, and this is proving to be the downfall of forestry “While other higher profile industries have been given massive financial and legislative handouts, forestry has been left to its own course. Unfortunately, this has been one of exploitation and inconsistent or inadequate management. “Furthermore, the forested land base in Canada is 92 per cent owned by the federal and provincial governments, another fact not commonly recognized. “The forest industry is dependent, not only on trees, but also the land base from which trees can be grown again and again. Unfortunately, productive forest land is being eroded by being relegated to uses other than forestry or by reduced productivity through careless management. “There are some uses which can be integrated with timber production. These include grazing, some types of reserves, water production and recreation. Such multiple resource use is not a loss to the forest and in many cases can increase the potential of the forest for other uses. “However, there are other uses which cannot co-exist with forestry and in fact effectively remove forested land from production. These uses are in evidence around Castlegar in the form of the several Hydro electric ponds, transmission lines, parks and mining activities. “Until recently, governments have freely allowed other single-use resources to displace timber production from the land and these are in most cases, political de cisions, beyond a forester's control. It is always difficult to argue for jobs in the next century when people want to enjoy an untouched wilderness today. “Alienation of the forest land to other single uses cannot be condoned unless it is shown that the other use is the most advantageous for all concerned, otherwise, the forest industry must share the forests with other users and other users must share the forests with the forest industry. “Still other losses are caused by careless man agement. Each year one million hectares of forest are cleared with at least one-third of that area not promptly regenerated. Each hectare not regenerated is the same as removing that hectare from forest production. “Fires, insects, disease and wind are also major factors in forest decline. More timber is lost each year from a combination of the above factors than by harvesting; and all add up to a growing decline in supply for the forest industries of the future. “Even a one per cent reduction in the annual harvest could reduce employment by 3,000 jobs and decrease Crown revenues by $25 million. It is important therefore, for our future to maintain the forest resource today “Since the governments of Canada own 92 per cent of the forested land, you may ask why are they not maintaining the forest. “The answer is, unfortunately, the governments of Canada accept the premise that the forest industry is a non-renewable industry in the twilight of its lifetime which they feel should be phased out, giving way to another as yet unnamed industry which will take up the slack. pe GRANT PARNELL . professional forester “Before harvesting an effort must be made to ensure that as many healthy trees as possible reach the harvestable stage. That is, a growing forest must be treated like a farm crop, carefully fertilized to encourage growth, weeded if necessary, thinned if growing too closely, protected from fire, insects and disease and then harvested when ripe. “During the harvest, care must be taken to protect the land base which cannot suffer damage without losing afee’ t allow C leading industry to simply fade away’ ‘We productivity. The harvest must also be completed with a minimum of waste since each tree wasted means another tree must be cut to replace it. “After harvest, the forest opening must be prepared for planting if necessary and regenerated promptly — Mother nature will do this job in most cases. If she does not, then carefully grown, superior trees of the best suited species must be planted. “Small trees are vulnerable to overtopping by brush or damage from many agents. These trees must be protected and tended until they are able to grow unassisted and unrestricted by disease or competition. “At this point we can complete the cycle and apply treatments to accelerate growth in anticipation of the next harvest. “In summary, we have a huge forest industry that requires a large percentage of the finite land base to continue to contribute to the Canadian economy. Unfortunately, we also have a government which feels the forests are a wonderful green bank account that will run out some day but will be replaced then by another industry “We also are part of the general public which wants both a high standard of living and at the same time an untouched wilderness from the same forest land. “To meet the demands of the industry, the govern ment and the public, we must protect productive forest land and initiate immediately a realistic and continuous forest management program akin to the tree farming practices in Europe. “If these steps are not taken now, then we face a future with less forested land, fewer jobs, smaller revenues and a lower standard of living for our children and our grandchildren. “I would like to charge all of you with the responsibility of making our legislators aware that the public is not content with the present management policies in regards to our forests. “We all hold the key to our futures and our children’s futures. Through the government, we own the forests of Canada. Let us therefore, demand that our forests be managed properly, for the sake of all.” The question period that followed emphasized the fact that with a declining forestry output our future standard of living has nowhere to go but down. It is a situation attributable in part to a lack of public interest and a belief that the supply of trees is inexhaustable and covers our entire country, an attitude Telephone 365-5210 Business Directory * end cancellations tor the Castleger up to 5 p.m., June 26for the month of July.
