U.S. report criticizes B.C. forestry practices

SEATTLE (AP) — The Pacific Northwest timber in- dustry’s future lies at least partly in its seedlings, a U.S. Forest Service report indi- cates.

Competing regions, nota- bly the southeastern United States and British Columbia, generally do not replant after logging, and will lose ground in the future to the North west, where replanting is standard practice, says the report.

can again become the nation’s dominant supplier of lumber and plywood,” it says.

Canada has tended to fol- low a policy of extraction — of treating timber in many cases like a mineral to be mined rather than a crop to be farmed, the report says.

The South has long been touted as an example of suc- cessful tree farming, and economists as recently as 1983 rejected that harvests from that region would in- crease 50 per cent by the year 2000.

But a study by Forest Ser- vice economist Con Schallau of the Pacific Northwest Re-

Station in Corvallis, Ore. Wilbur Maki of the Univgsity of Minnesota says the of tree growth in the South leveled off in the late 1970s.

“Timber removals are be- ginning to rise above net an- nual growth for the first time in decades,” the study says.

Schallau’s study says ag- gressive harvesting in Brit- ish Columbia will dull com petition from the north.

“The Canadian forests are being liquidated” he says.

“Regeneration is not tak- ing place. The production of paper products as well as lumber and wood products could be drastically curtailed in the near future.”

Unless British Columbia replants its big backlog of cutover land, the study says, its annual cut may fall by half to 1.75 billion cubic feet from 3.5 billion cubic feet.

British Columbia now ex- ports 56 per cent of its har- vest to the United States.

Schallau had no estimate of when the British Columbia harvest would decrease. Alan Chambers, professor of for- est management at the Uni- versity of British Columbia, said in a telephone interview the decrease would come over the next 25 years.

“There's nothing specific that triggered it,” Chabot said. “I just felt it was time to make the announcement now. There will be an elec- tion in the next 18 months and I thought it best to give those who might try to suc- ceed me an opportunity to make their plans.”

As one of the legislature's longest serving members, Chabot is eligible for a pen- sion of about $60,000 a year.

Chabot served as labor minister in W.A.C. Bennett's last government. He was named minister of mines by Premier Bill Bennett in 1976, thinister of lands, parks and housing in 1978, and provin cial secretary and minister of government services in 1982.

Harcourt seeks NDP nomination

VANCOUVER (CP) — Mayor Mike Harcourt hopes to run for the New Demo cratic Party in the next pro- vincial election.

The decision follows an an. nouncement by Gary Lauk. NDP member for Vancouver Centre, that he will not seek re-election. New Democrat Emery Barnes holds the other seat in the two-seat riding.

Harcourt, in a statement to be officially released today, said the state of the British

Columbia economy and the recent controversy surround- ing the provincial cabinet were deciding factors in his decision to seek the nomin- ation. A nominating meeting is scheduled for March 28.

Harcourt, 43, has been mayor of Vancouver since 1980, when he upset incum. bent Jack Voirich. He was first elected alderman in 1972.

Meanwhile, veteran Ald. Harry Rankin said he will run for mayor.
