Convervation Council Gives A Thumbs Down To New Forest Plan

Daivd Coon of the Conservation Council not happy with the province's new forest management plan.

The new management plan will reduce the area of conservation forest from 30.5% to 28% of the overall forest

Coon tells CHSJ News the new trees planted after a clear-cutting operation aren't the same habitat as a natural forest.

He says the plan ultimately chips away at protection measures for water and wildlife.
