Professors and instructors from New Brunswick’s four public universities and the Maritime College of Forest Technology have written to New Brunswick Minister of Natural Resources Paul Robichaud to demand that the government’s forest plan be halted and a different course of action grounded in accumulated collective wisdom be taken.

Dear Minister Robichaud,

We  in  the  academic  community  of  New  Brunswick  are  deeply  concerned  about  recent  announcements   and  actions  by  the  provincial  government  regarding  forest  policy  in  the  province.  Specifically,  we  believe   there  has  been  a  lack  of  proper  consultation  and  transparent  consideration  of  scientific  evidence   regarding:  (i)  the  proposed  Strategy  for  Crown  Lands  Forest  Management  that  seeks  to  increase  wood   supply  by  approximately  20%  for  softwoods;  and  (ii)  the  JDI  agreement  (contract)  that  commits  the   province  to  provide  JDI  with  specific  wood  supply  quantities  over  the  next  25  years.  Read the full letter and signatures here.

*********

Monsieur le Ministre Robichaud,

Nous, du milieu universitaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, sommes profondément inquiets par rapport aux annonces et mesures récentes du gouvernement provincial relativement à la stratégie forestière de la province. Plus précisément, nous croyons qu’il y a eu un manque de consultation et de la transparence dans la prise en compte des études scientifiques en ce qui concerne : (i) la Stratégie de gestion des forêts de la Couronne, nouvellement proposée et visant à augmenter d’environ 20 % l’approvisionnement en bois; et (ii) l’entente avec JDI engageant la province à fournir à JDI des quantités précises de résineux pour les 25 prochaines années.  Lire la lettre au Ministre Robichaud ici.
