Miramichi River

The rivers and streams that flow through the forests;
The birds and animals that live in the forests;
The unique species, and ecosystem diversity that is native to N.B. forests;
The salmon and other sport fish that live in the rivers and streams that provide recreation and livelihood for N.B. residents;
The game birds and game animals that live in the forests that provide recreation and livelihood for N.B. residents;
 

New Brunswick forest and lands are not only for the benefit and use of the companies who for economic reasons will cut as much of the forest as they can; as quickly as they can; as cheaply as they can; and whose major concern is to maximize their profits.

Every citizen of New Brunswick should carefully examine the recommendations in these reports and then each one of us should impress upon our M.L.A’s the concerns we have about the changes that will effect all of us who live here now, our children, and future generations of our children.

 New Brunswick should have as its goal an FSC-Certified Forest (Forest Stewardship Council – Certified Forest).

FSC certification is internationally recognized as the most rigorous environmental and social standard for responsible forest management.

It is the only forest certification system supported by groups such as the World Wildlife Fund Canada, Greenpeace, Sierra Club of Canada, and the National Aboriginal Forestry Association.
