Mayors Worry About Possible Reductions In Wood Harvesting

As the province mulls over possibly reducing the amount of Crown Wood that can be cut, mayors across the province are warning of the consequences of such a move.

They have put their signatures on an advertisement warning of job loss and loss revenue if the province goes ahead with a reduction.

Sussex mayor Ralph Carr tells CHSJ News municipalities are not anti-green but there is a balance that should be maintained.

He says the sawmill in Sussex employs over 30 people and worries about job security if there is a harvest reduction.
