Page 18 Times -Advocate, June 21, 1989 Message sent to government over forests PETERBOROUGH - The Canadi- an public has sent a strong message to the government and the forest in- dustry in a recent Environics Re- search poll says Canada's largest sportsmen's organization, the Onta- rio Federation of Anglers and Hunt- ers. The message is that forests have value to Canadians far beyond pro- ducing wood. "The Environics Research poll done for the Federal Department of Forestry shows that Canadians be- lieve the most important use of our forests is wildlife protection. That's exactly what the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is fighting for at !Iw Class Environmental As- sessment into Timber Management now underway in Thunder Bay," says Dr. Terry Quinney, a wildlife biologist with thkFederation. "The number of board feerper acre can no longer be the overriding considera- tion m forestry management. Clear- ly, Canadians want to see our fo- rests managed to protect and enhance wildlife." The poll, done earlier this year, surveyed 2,529 Canadians and is ac- curate to +1.9% in 19 out of 20 cases. Other findings: * More than 60% of Canadians surveyed said potential environmen- tal impacts should be the most im- portant consideration in deciding how specific forests areas are used. - Only 12% felt the potential eco- nomic value of the forest should be most important. * Most Canadians believe the for- est industry causes either a great deal (39%) or some (45%) damage to the environmental quality of Canada's forests. * Close to one in two (46%) Ca- nadians strongly disapprove of clear cutting as the primary method of logging in Canada, while another 25% somewhat disapproves. 't * Most Canadians believe that how fast and successfully the forest can grow back ($9%) and the effects on wildlife (85%) are very impor- tant considerations in choosing the best logging method. - * A large majority of Canadians either strongly (53%) or somewhat (32%) favours the use of selection cutting instead of clear cutting even when told that selection cutting is more 'expensive because of greater labour and lower volumes.. The Ontario Federation of An- glers and Hunters is the largest pro- vincial conservation organization in Ontario, with 73,000 members. In addition, to its work to protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat, it is known for its programs to edu- cate young people, preserve wet- lands, stop poaching, and enhance recreational opportunities for sportsmen. The O.F.A.H. has been a partici- pant at the Class Environmental Assessment of Timber Management on Crown land since it began in May 1988. Squirts only G.B.
