Hi Folks,
Two weeks ago I was at the New England Regional Council on Forest Engineering (NERCOFE) annual meeting in Orono Maine and a good focus of the meeting was on watersheds and how as forester practitioners we have made significant efforts to improve our work in watersheds and specifically the structures we use to cross our streams and rivers. Sometimes we do not get the credit we deserve for these accomplishments.
That being said, far to often forestry gets the blame for being destructive to our waterways whether it be through road building or herbicide use. Today I read the article below regarding the Atlantic Salmon, which frustrates me quite greatly. We are making great strides to improve our operations, while sometimes taking the blame for the salmon decline, meanwhile someone else is fishing them out by the tonne.
