This series of fact sheets has been produced to increase public understanding of forestry in Ontario and to present innovative ideas on how it can be improved. Forestry is the single largest use of public lands in Ontario and forestry activities can have a major impact on ecosystems. The Wildlands League is committed to improving forestry practices and reducing the ecological impact of logging by working directly with government and industry and by improving public awareness and involvement in forestry issues.
