PRESERVE WHAT’S LEFT: RILEY SCANLAN WEIGHS IN ON NOVA SCOTIA’S ECOLOGICAL FORESTRY STATUS

“The few areas of remaining old forest are wonders to explore. However, I fear the combined effects of industrial forestry, climate change and invasive species will quickly eradicate what is left.”

Riley, Westwood Lab member and Master of Environmental Studies candidate at Dalhousie University, submitted a short response to Lindsay Lee’s June 6 opinion piece in the Chronicle Herald on the subject of Nova Scotia’s slow transition to an ecological forestry model. In the article, she insists on Nova Scotian’s dedication to sustainable forestry practices and urges the proper implementation of the 2018 Lahey Report.
