Flo wer Den 28 David's Crescent Dried & Silk Floral Arrangements, CUSTOM MADE 983-5423 Woods, Water and Wildlife By: Ron Reid - Federation of Ontario Naturalists' Is Ontario running put of wood? According to figures pulled together recently by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the answer depends on what kind or wood we want, and how we manage our forest over the next 20 years. For the conifer species, highly desired for paper-making, a shortfall in supply by the year 2000 is likely unless we start taking better care of our northern forests. At the moment, the forest industry cuts about 600,000 acres per year, taking about 15.2 million cubic metres of conifer wood to the mills. By the year 2000, more efficient mills are expected to increase that harvest'to 18.4, but the Ministry, estimates that only 17.4 M.C.M. will be available. -All ■ this assumes that thp computer revolution won't reduce the demand for paper, and that the recession doesn't bankrupt some companies, companies, $nd that Ontario ^oesn't lose out in the paper market to cheaper products from abroad. But if all the assumptions hold, where will we find the wood? The simplistic answer is to cleafcut the parks system and lakeshore reserves, and to stop any new parks. But in fact the amount of wood involved involved in these protected areas is small - only 2-4 percent percent of industry's needs. Compar e that to fire losses in northwest - Ontario, where 20-30 percent of the annual allowable cut routinely burns. Or to disease and insect insect losses of 15 percent in the northeast. The Ministry seems to be suggesting that a multipronged multipronged approach will be more effective in meeting the real problem. Better use of wood from each acre harvested, by reducing waste and chipping tops and branches, branches, for example, could increase increase yield by 5-10 percent. Better use of abundant species such as poplar, and a more efficient allocation of timber limits, would also helf). More emphasis on fire and disease control, with firm targets for improvement, could wipe out potential shortages and make better use of the forest resource. In the longer term, improved improved management on productive productive forest lands close to the mills is even more essential. We must stop the current practice of failing to regenerate into commençai forest one-third of the area cut. That carelessness is far more significant to the future of the forest industry than the entire system of park proposals proposals put together. Ü.
