Should Canada allow the logging of old growth forests?

How insane that this is even considered. What moron thinks the money from trees is more valuable than the oxygen from trees. Leave our trees alone.

Yes, but with restrictions.

Yes but with regulations

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

ask local comunities and experts

Yes but at a sustainable rate

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.

Yes, and re-plant as soon as you remove a plant

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

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

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

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

Yes as long as there is replenishment

Must replant

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

Depends on the location and the definition of 'old growth'

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

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

Don’t know enough about it

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

Yes, assuming they replant the trees

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

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

No, unless we need to.

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

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

Yes because decomposing wood creates a lot of carbon

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

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

if their is a way to replenish the forest then yes

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

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.
