Public education a priority for Terrace Women in Timber ° by Stephanie Wiebe ———— —t The Terrace Branch of Canadian Women in Timber, formed a mere five months apo, is already proving itself to be an active force in supporting and sharing information about the forest industry, In. June, they hosted a public information meeting about the pros and cons of slash-burning. In September, they set up an information table at the Skeena Mall, handing out pamphlets and "Tree Growing Kits" supplied by the Ministry of Forests. Their second public meeting was held Jast Wednesday, featuring guest speaker Sonny Jay, a Registered Professional Forester, -who explained why forestry management involves ecology, economics, sociology and many other factors. “Forest management is more than just growing trees," Jay said. Explaining a varicty of logging methods used in this - area, he discussed problems such as pests and disease, and the controversial practises of slashburning and clearcutting. Using slides, Jay showed his audience the various stages of logging, from site preparation through to a 15-year regenerated forest, answering questions throughout the presentation. Canadian Women In Timber, a non-profit organization of men and women, supports public education in regards to forestry issues. The group organizes school programs, educational presentations and forestry demonstrations. The Terrace branch is quickly becoming active in educating itself and the interested public about local forestry issues, and is sending representatives to the CWIT General Meeting in Vancouver, which is held in conjunction with the Pacific Loggers’ Conference this week, For more information about © Canadian Women In Timber, write CWIT, P.O.
