By Ross Stevenson, M.P. Durham It's unfortunate that trees don't have sex appeal. Our forests are extremely important to all of us, economically economically as well as ecologically. ecologically. Yet, it's hard to get most people excited or worked up about trees. We may like to look at them, but we assume they'll always always be around, somewhere. That attitude was all too evident last week when the Committee on Forestry presented presented its comprehensive report report to the House of Commons. Commons. After months of hearings hearings and interviewing scores of experts, the committee made a number of well- reasoned recommendations about how we must develop and sustain Canada's forests and the industries dependent dependent on them. Appearance of the report might be compared with what happens when a tree falls over in distant woods -- nobody heard it. Media coverage coverage was virtually nonexistent. nonexistent. Other more sexy news items monopolized that day's headlines. Canada has a strangely ambivalent attitute to its trees. While most of us claim to enjoy "the woods," we're careless with them. More that a centuiy ago, Sir John A. Macdonald looked out a window at the hundreds hundreds of log booms floating down the Ottawa River ana wondered how long the forests forests could endure such clear cutting. Yet it wasn't until 1960 that a separate federal Department Department of Forestry was created. Within a decade it had disappeared through government re-shuffling. At the time a public servant commented somewhat cynically, cynically, again alluding to sex appeal: "It takes about 40 years to grow a tree, but pol- liticians have to be elected every four years." A full-scale department, Forestry Canada, was reestablished reestablished earlier this year. The House committee in its report, provides the back- ■ound philosophy and a ue-print for wnat the new department could and should be doing. Sustainable development is a basic theme. Our forests must be maintained and replenished replenished so they can be used and eiyoyed and passed undiminisned to future future generations. Commercial Commercial timber is like other crops - it grows and matures, matures, to be harvested and then replaced with new seedlings. Anyone familiar. with commercial lumbering will know that sustainability does not simply mean maintaining maintaining the status quo. We have a great deal of catching up to do on reforestation.

While much is heard about burning Amazon Amazon rainforests and how that harms the earth's ecology, few consider the importance of our own depleting forests to the global ecosystem. The dollar value of our trees is impressive. Forest industries employ almost a million people, which is one of every 14 working Canadians. Canadians. Exports of forest related related products bring in more than $40 billion per year - more than agriculture, mining, mining, energy and fisheries combined. Forests make up almost half of the national landscape. landscape. "More than any other geographic feature," said the report, "they literally constitute constitute the face of Canada, and for a growing number of Canadian Canadian citizens our forests represent the environmental ' spirit of our country. Forests contribute in a wide variety of ways to the quality of our lives, and they demand our care in cautious, compatible and committed ways." A growing awareness of this means public views and values sometimes are out in front of government actions and the forest industries, as we've witnessed during enticing enticing demonstrations, consider this an excellent excellent report, full value for all the time and money spent preparing its 140 pages. We must all ensure that its message message is heard and kept high on the agenda.
