All these years spent trying to grow more sustainable timber - the long chats with land owners, the meetings with communities and farmers, the planning and the audits, and the working with the vital small businesses that underpin our industry and apparently i'm a Lex Luthor of the log yard !

This is a great panel on West Coast Fires that happened last week at @forestry.ubc.ca that I'm just catching up on now. I'm a big fan of John Vaillant's writing incl. Fire Weather, and have been fortunate to have been in correspondence with @loridanielsubc.bsky.social for CJFR's fire collection

I’m losing my mind here. USTR made a list of “Unfair trade practices” they’re retaliating against, complaint number 5 is that the EU cares too much about stopping illegal deforestation, complaint number 7 is that the South Americans are doing too much illegal deforestation

As a forester with most of a decade of experience working timber ops for the Forest Service, this is incredibly bad for a few reasons. The first being that he just fired a lot of the internal staff and plans to do a big RIF, so ALL of this will have to be done by contractors with little to no QA/QC
