  Until the goverment decides to grant logging rights to those other
areas. In my opinion, all of the lousy forest management policies of
the past are coming to haunt the present. If only people would have
been more responsible earlier (ie: reforesting, not clearcut vast areas
etc etc) there would be no great problems today. Just fly from
Vancouver to Calgary and notice all the clearcut scars. They are
everywhere, and there are more clearcuts than forests around the 
Okanagan area. The current leaders of the forest industry are now
whining that they shouldn't be reponsible for past poor management.
Hmmm...kindof the the defecit/budgetary crisis we are finding
ourselves in.......'the children should not pay for the sins of the father'
is the current attitude that will get us all in trouble eventually.
