Touch Wood: BC Forests at the Crossroads - Softcover
Public debate about forest policy is almost as old as the forest industry itself, but in the 1990s people on all sides are demanding new directions in the use and management of forests, one of our most precious resources. Never in our history has it been so crucial to make policy decisions that grapple with social, economic and environmental concerns. This collection of essays is a cornerstone in the current round of debate.
