Yes, through selective logging and forest regeneration AND secondary and tertiary manufacturing within Canada. Sending ANY logs overseas or out of country for processing elsewhere is bad... but so are the closed shop union businesses that cannot be profitable compared to non-unionized production elsewhere.
@9JZP7TY2mos2MO
We should look at more renewable materials as alternatives to logging. Logging should be done in renewable forests and old growth to be avoided as much as possible
@9GPTJ2D6mos6MO
No, there are many alternative wood-engineered products that are now available that do not rely on the size/quality of old-growth lumber. Old growth lumber is used primary for cosmetic / vanity and should be banned from use. Furthermore, most old-growth logs are exported so they may be sold for the highest proffet, benefiting the seller, not the community in which the old growth forest was removed.
@9F3BQD88mos8MO
Maybe, depends on the forest
@9CP3C3710mos10MO
yes , if they replant the plants
@9C7MJ7511mos11MO
if their is a way to replenish the forest then yes
@99B9Y7X1yr1Y
Log old if there is a risk of destruction by rut and fires
@9983HDG1yr1Y
no, deforistation is bad for the environment meaning that the trees can no longer help us in battle in climite change.
@98HTVSQ1yr1Y
Canada's greatest tool to combat climate change is our natural tools like trees so if we are not replenishing our forest while using said resources we are in trouble
@98B4VMH1yr1Y
Forestry is a provincial matter
@97N57G3Conservative1yr1Y
Any true old growth forest needs to be left alone and preserved. However there’s no issue with selective logging any other healthy forests that aren’t as old as long as the forest ecosystem is stable enough
@97B88MQConservative1yr1Y
Yes, but the trees must be replanted immediately after, and they a have to be of the same species of the tree that was cut down
Canada doesn't cut down old growth forest's. We plant trees and then harvest them.
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
@9464RF92yrs2Y
Only with indigenous permission
@NewtonMoorthy2yrs2Y
Yes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth AND if the profits stay in Canada
@93GN24C2yrs2Y
Yes, but certian/sacred lands are to be kept untouched. and a plan for regrowth.
@9388XWJ2yrs2Y
ask local comunities and experts
@92YKHH62yrs2Y
Not in preserves, and areas more than 25 kilometres from cities, towns, villages, and hamlets except for road, placer mine, water treatment plant, golf course, and campground construction
@92SBLVXConservative2yrs2Y
Old growth trees are no more important than young trees and consume way less CO2 than the young trees. The natural process in the forest is for fire to destroy mature trees so the forest can be renewed with young healthy trees.
Only if the land owners agree. Including Indigenous lands. And only selective with a plan for re-growth.
@8ZN4YG42yrs2Y
There are plenty of forests that are managed by forestry companies. However, we should also preserve a lot of our old growth forests as well/and other public lands to drastically reduce CO2 emissions.
@8XJ8R6V2yrs2Y
Yes because decomposing wood creates a lot of carbon
@8WZ4NMB2yrs2Y
only if its absolutely necessary
@8VST9YM3yrs3Y
Yes but at a sustainable rate
@8VRD2783yrs3Y
Depends if its a hindrance or a disturbance to natural cycle of the nature or environment, and to people, or even animals.
@8VQNZB83yrs3Y
Yes but only if it profits stay in Canada and no clear cutting and a plan for regrowth
@8VNNWDL3yrs3Y
Selective logging, if trees are still living healthy they must be left to survive, if trees are deemed as dead or dying, they should be removed and replaced with newly planted trees.
@8VNM7XJ3yrs3Y
Yes but it must profit Canada and there is selective logging, no clear cutting, a plan for regrow and a percentage of old growth that is never touched in each region.
@8VN22QD3yrs3Y
if it’s an environmental threat of old lumber/ foliage logging and clearing fire hazard areas only
@8VMRQ2F3yrs3Y
yes but only when the trees are on the verge of collapsing
@8VMR33C3yrs3Y
Yes, but the profits must go to Canada, and the logging must be selective including a plan for replanting.
@8VLRJYF3yrs3Y
Yes if they have a plan for regrowth and put it in to action immediately after removing the trees. Don’t take them out all at once
@8VLP8ND3yrs3Y
No the old growth can never be replaced… logging has to be done with regriwth plans to ensure to protect the forest for generations to come
@9DVZ2NF8mos8MO
Yes, but with restrictions.
@9DTTBXP8mos8MO
The definition of old growth to be older trees, and there should be selective logging and no clear cutting
@9DSJG328mos8MO
Yes but with regulations
@9D4R2DY9mos9MO
Yes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth. The profits should also only be within Canada.
@8VKKXXL3yrs3Y
Yes , but keep profits here in canada ... do it with a plan for regrowth, and selective logging , clean up the mess , repair environmental disruptions , reduce prices on canadian lumber for canadians
@8VJWGXT3yrs3Y
Yes, and re-plant as soon as you remove a plant
Plant deciduous trees, not dry pine to protect us from rapid wildfires.
@8VH4ZRZ3yrs3Y
Logging is a large part of Canadian resources, but it should be controlled and there should be no clearcutting and in areas where logging has occur there should be regrowth plans
@8VDDZM83yrs3Y
Yes but only if the profits stay in Canada AND ONLY selective logging plus plans for regrowth
@8TX57HB3yrs3Y
Limited harvest with approval of indigenous owners if they own the area.
@8TM8L3W3yrs3Y
No, depending on age and health of the forest. Although, for every old- growth tree cut down, two new world be planted.
@8T8PGV93yrs3Y
Companies cannot log anywere until they are willing to leave it nearly as prestine as when they found it
@8VGTTTH3yrs3Y
Yes, Canada needs to reduce amount of burnable wood in forests where forest fires are natural.
@8VFSV3N3yrs3Y
Yes, if wildlife is not impacted and there are no adverse environmental impacts
@8VBFZBC3yrs3Y
Maybe. Only with the approval of First Nations if the land is theirs (ie crown land) and NO clear cutting.
