Yes to More Wildlife Habitat! No to More Clearcutting!

When: 12 noon on Tuesday, May 10
Where: New Brunswick Legislature, Fredericton, NB

The government of New Brunswick's 50 year forest management plan will
determine the fate of our wildlife.

Please join us on Tuesday, May 10 in Fredericton to send a strong
message that we don't want our habitat protection zones clearcut,
instead we want a 50 year plan that protects and restores the rich
diversity of animals, plants, trees, rivers and streams in our forest.

The rally will include speakers and a 318 foot long banner calling for
an end to the clearcutting of our forest signed by thousands of people
from across the Americas. The banner has visited many locations from
Hawaii to Ottawa and is now in New Brunswick.

Nova Scotia is committed to reducing the area of clearcutting by half
and no longer funding the herbicide spraying of their forest. Quebec
banned herbicide spraying of their public forest a decade ago in 2001.
New Brunswick should follow our neighbours into the 21st century and
abandon destructive forestry.
