Yes, only if the profits stay in canada by being used by canadian companies or state run industry, with plans for regrowth and no clearcutting, trees are necessary, both for our economy but also for our climate.

 @9LJGNWTPeople’s from British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, through selective logging and forest regeneration AND secondary and tertiary manufacturing within Canada. Sending ANY logs overseas or out of country for processing elsewhere is bad... but so are the closed shop union businesses that cannot be profitable compared to non-unionized production elsewhere.

 @9GPTJ2Dfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

No, there are many alternative wood-engineered products that are now available that do not rely on the size/quality of old-growth lumber. Old growth lumber is used primary for cosmetic / vanity and should be banned from use. Furthermore, most old-growth logs are exported so they may be sold for the highest proffet, benefiting the seller, not the community in which the old growth forest was removed.

 @9DTTBXPfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

The definition of old growth to be older trees, and there should be selective logging and no clear cutting

 @9D4R2DYfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth. The profits should also only be within Canada.

 @9RBVFQQfrom Prince Edward Island  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only if the profits stay in Canada AND there is only selective logging, with no clear-cutting and a plan for regrowth.

 @9MC4BQLfrom Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

We can have plots of land for logging with a good plan for regrowth. Respect the things that came before and should be able to live on after.

 @9JZP7TYfrom Quebec  answered…10mos10MO

We should look at more renewable materials as alternatives to logging. Logging should be done in renewable forests and old growth to be avoided as much as possible

 @8VBFZBCfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Maybe. Only with the approval of First Nations if the land is theirs (ie crown land) and NO clear cutting.

 @96KZTM4People’sfrom Manitoba  answered…2yrs2Y

Canada doesn't cut down old growth forest's. We plant trees and then harvest them.

 @NewtonMoorthyfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth AND if the profits stay in Canada

 @93GN24Cfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but certian/sacred lands are to be kept untouched. and a plan for regrowth.

 @92YKHH6from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Not in preserves, and areas more than 25 kilometres from cities, towns, villages, and hamlets except for road, placer mine, water treatment plant, golf course, and campground construction

 @92SBLVXConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Old growth trees are no more important than young trees and consume way less CO2 than the young trees. The natural process in the forest is for fire to destroy mature trees so the forest can be renewed with young healthy trees.

 @8VRD278from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Depends if its a hindrance or a disturbance to natural cycle of the nature or environment, and to people, or even animals.

 @8VQNZB8from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only if it profits stay in Canada and no clear cutting and a plan for regrowth

 @8VNNWDLfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Selective logging, if trees are still living healthy they must be left to survive, if trees are deemed as dead or dying, they should be removed and replaced with newly planted trees.

 @8VKKXXLfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes , but keep profits here in canada ... do it with a plan for regrowth, and selective logging , clean up the mess , repair environmental disruptions , reduce prices on canadian lumber for canadians

 @8VJWGXTfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VH4ZRZfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Logging is a large part of Canadian resources, but it should be controlled and there should be no clearcutting and in areas where logging has occur there should be regrowth plans

 @8VGTTTHfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, Canada needs to reduce amount of burnable wood in forests where forest fires are natural.

 @8VFSV3Nfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if wildlife is not impacted and there are no adverse environmental impacts

 @8VDDZM8from Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only if the profits stay in Canada AND ONLY selective logging plus plans for regrowth

 @8VB2DHNanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth and the profits stay in the country.

  @8TXVXMLfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Decentralize. It should be decentralized to the communities that rely on these industries to manage. People who know the area, needs. Most especially private property owners.

 @8TX57HBfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Limited harvest with approval of indigenous owners if they own the area.

 @8TM8L3Wfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

No, depending on age and health of the forest. Although, for every old- growth tree cut down, two new world be planted.

 @8TLPJ4FLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TJC4TFfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only silvicultural systems (not selective logging or clearcutting), and a plan for regrowth.

 @8TFT2GFfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only selective logging with a plan for regrowth at the approval of the indigenous peoples

 @8T8PGV9from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Companies cannot log anywere until they are willing to leave it nearly as prestine as when they found it

 @8S6B9RKfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes controlled logging should be permitted. No logging in Canada should be exported as raw material, only milled and finished lumber.

 @8RVZKZNLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Logging down of old growth forests would be bad for the environment, and we need trees to survive. We can't keep killing them.

 @8P9DDJMfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Very little but yes, selective logging, with a already in progress regrowth plan. Funds must stay in canada.

 @8P4JRW8from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Old growth forests should not allow logging, however logging should remain legal in second-growth forests.

 @Jatzuyufrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, these forests contain ancient trees that have lived longer than most people, these trees should be a symbol of nature and left to naturally fall on their own.

 @97N57G3Conservativefrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Any true old growth forest needs to be left alone and preserved. However there’s no issue with selective logging any other healthy forests that aren’t as old as long as the forest ecosystem is stable enough

 @97B88MQConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the trees must be replanted immediately after, and they a have to be of the same species of the tree that was cut down

 @8VSTHPVLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Plant deciduous trees, not dry pine to protect us from rapid wildfires.

 @8VJ8ZRDfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only selective cutting and profits stay in Canada to replace to trees with new ones

 @924WNLMLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Only if the land owners agree. Including Indigenous lands. And only selective with a plan for re-growth.

 @8ZN4YG4from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

There are plenty of forests that are managed by forestry companies. However, we should also preserve a lot of our old growth forests as well/and other public lands to drastically reduce CO2 emissions.

 @8XJ8R6Vfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VNM7XJfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but it must profit Canada and there is selective logging, no clear cutting, a plan for regrow and a percentage of old growth that is never touched in each region.

 @8VN22QDfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

if it’s an environmental threat of old lumber/ foliage logging and clearing fire hazard areas only

 @8VMRQ2Ffrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VMR33Cfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the profits must go to Canada, and the logging must be selective including a plan for replanting.

 @8VLRJYFfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes if they have a plan for regrowth and put it in to action immediately after removing the trees. Don’t take them out all at once

 @8VLP8NDfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No the old growth can never be replaced… logging has to be done with regriwth plans to ensure to protect the forest for generations to come

 @9C7MJ75from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @99B9Y7Xfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9983HDGfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

no, deforistation is bad for the environment meaning that the trees can no longer help us in battle in climite change.

 @98HTVSQfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Canada's greatest tool to combat climate change is our natural tools like trees so if we are not replenishing our forest while using said resources we are in trouble

 @8PQL4GYfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

We need to preserve our forests and that will benefit our future more than the economic benefits. All lumber companies in Canada should stop all destructive harvesting like clearcutting, adopt a selective logging plan, and submit a plan for regrowth before being allowed to cut. The government should follow up on logging sights every year to ensure the regrowth plans are being executed.

 @8P9YHMHfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but use all kinds of wood then leaving some junk wook that can be used as wood chips and other appliances.

 @M33JXKfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Complex. Must respect need to preserve viability of old growth forests but also rights and collective needs of first nations in ancestral lands

 @9ZK3JNSfrom British Columbia  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only if the profits stay in canada, our forests should be controlled and used by local citizen owned businesses and the federal and local governments.
