Friends of Nature have been working with an as yet un-named group to protest the terrible devastation going on in our forests in order to supply wood to the biomass furnace in Port Hawkesbury. I urge you to sign the petition and to read the background information on how not “green” biomass technology has turned out to be.

Many Thanks,
Syd Dumaresq, Chair, Friends of Nature

    This was a stupid project right from the first and anyone that couldn’t see that should not be in power. I live in the country and see the different woodlots clear cut and basically destroyed. I see the truckloads of cut “trees” in my area. These trees – some as small as 2 inches around – were not allowed to mature but clear cut. Also, there doesn’t seem to be any policy to reforest – why not ? Stop this raping our forests. Build more wind turbines – NOW !

      Hi Wilfred, thanks for taking the time to comment. The petition was time-sentsitive and hosted over at change.org and is no longer an affective petition. However, it is on an ongoing concern.
