Mountain Pine Beetle Epidemic In Willmore Worsened By Decades Of Fire Suppression

Alberta Wilderness Association

News Release: August 2, 2005

While the government is spending time and money trying to eradicate the recent infestation of mountain pine beetle in Willmore Wilderness Park, they could better use that money in the future to support ecosystem-based forest research and management. Serious epidemics of forest pests could be avoided by allowing forests to exist in their natural, complex, healthy state instead of being subjected to unnatural management strategies such as fire suppression.

New government forestry planning manual -- input needed.

Read More

Canadian Parks And Wilderness Society -- Edmonton Chapter

Hello everyone,

I am writing in regards to the government's request for feedback on their new forest management planning manual. This document represents a major shift by the government. I am hoping that many of you will be able to respond, though I realize that time may be a limiting factor for many. To facilitate your efforts I am sending along a link to our recent review of forest management in Alberta , which includes an in-depth analysis of the new planning manual -- go to What's New at www.cpaws-edmonton.org/ . Please note that comments need to be in to the government by Sept. 15 (see the news release appended below). Sending even a short note touching on a few points would be helpful.

In our view, the new planning manual is an important step forward and its implementation should be encouraged. It is the first meaningful thing the government has done with respect to forest management since the release of the Alberta Forest Conservation Strategy in 1997. What's wrong with the manual is not so much what is in it, but what was left out.
