TERRACE — ‘Trying to
balance the —‘economic
dependence of B.C, on natural
resource extraction with the
growing concern about the ef-
fect that extraction has on the
environment is a= ‘‘massive
undertaking’’, but it is
achievable, Vicky Husband told
a chamber of commerce lun-
cheon last week. .

Well-known as a spokesman
for the conservationist group
the Sierra Club of Western
Canada, Husband is one of 29

‘members of the Round Table on —
and the
Economy. She also sits on that”

Pruning project

promises

TERRACE — The full benefits
are many years away yet, but
better quality timber will one
day be the result of work being
carried out in the Kitimat Valley
by two forest enhancement pro-
gram crews.

Kalum Forest District
silviculturist Pat Smith said the
nine-men crews are pruning
branches about halfway up trees
found in a number of 20-25
year-old stands. The project
began Feb. | and, by the time it
ends March 31, Each crew is ex-
pected to have treated approx-
imately 20ha,

Noting the job was not an
easy one, Smith said the
workers use eight-to-10 feet
long pruning saws and it can
take up to’ five minutes to trim
one tree, Because the snow pack
does not allow access to areas
further in, most of the work will
take place close to the Terrace-

benefits

- Kitimat highway,

Explaining why the work was
being done, Smith said remov-
ing the lower branches now

meant fewer knots in the wood §

eventually produced by the
trees. More clear wood in turn
means increased yalue.

Sponsors Pacific Regenera-
tion Technologies and P&V
Contracting each provided a
foreman for their crew and their
progress is checked by the forest
service.

Smith said the program, 2

. joint effort of the forest and

social services and housing
ministries, continues the work
of an employment program bas-
ed here during the recession of
the 1980s.

It's intended to give offer
crew members — all social
assistance recipients — the op-
portunity to learn new skills and
get some work experience.

visory body which reported and

made recommendations to the
provincial government.
Pointing out it. did not ad-
judicate disputes’ over in-
dividual. areas, Husband’ ex-
plained the Round Table’s job
was to establish a general
Strategy on land use that would
hopefully. end such conflicts,

up.with would have to recognize
an address the full range of en-

vironmental, economic and _

social issues and values. '‘It

isn’t jobs versus the environ-. 7
ment,'’ she emphasized. Instead

the aim. was-to find a way to

provinze’s resources.. :
“This is really a challenge to
everybody,?! she said, adding it

She also encouraged anyone
who wanted to make their views
known to write to ‘the Round

‘Table ‘at 229-560 Johnson St.;
Victoria V8W 3C6° (Ph:

“We all have to take some.

our children and our grand-
children,” she concluded; aOR:
