They aren't foresters, Kelly Bert.  Like I said; why don't you look them 
up?

Why not contact your local WCWC or other environmental group and ask them 
what they think of Jerry Franklin.  As usual, you hide out in bc.general 
displaying your complete ignorance, because you'd get laughed off any 
other group.  Franklin is one of the gurus of 'eco-forestry' for 
crissakes!

Why don't you provide some data on this, as you are intimating that you 
_are_ well informed?

You are completely ignorant about cone collection, and seed orchards, and 
how the vast majority of seedlings are produced in BC.

That was my point.  The Suzuki quote mentioned the coastal rainforest.  
It didn't say 'southern Vancouver Island' or 'downtown Vancouver'.  It 
suggested the entire coast.

Obviously not.  Did you do this anywhere above?

You haven't shown where I've lied.  You're simply up to your usual 
netkookery, Kelly Bert.
