Environmentalists, loggers can

Dear Editor:
In his letter to the editor

_ published Dec. 17, Lou Lepine

states that ‘‘the Western Canada
Wilderness Committee wants to
stop all coastal logging.’’ This
statement is Mr. Lepifie’s own
fabrication and in no way repre-
sents the position of the WCWC. .

Our organization believes in
responsible forest management
coupled with the preservation of
outstanding and representative
wilderness forests such as the
Carmanah and Stein valleys for
recreational, scientific, tourism
and other nen-consumptive uses.

Further suggestions that en-
vironmentalists think nothing of
spiking trees and endangering the
lives of forest industry workers are
shocking generalizations based on
isolated acts of eco-terrorism by a
few irresponsible individuals.

The WCWC in particular has
made it very clear that such illegal
tactics are totally unacceptable
(and ineffective), and we are
prepared te defend our society

from accusations of such acts
through legal action. The WCWC
is dedicated to preserving
wilderness and improving forestry
practices through public education.

Other letters published in the
same issue of the News also con-
tain inaccurate portrayals of the
environmental movement as an

“urban phenomena. In reality,

many of our. members are from
tural areas, often those directly af-
fected by the issues, and are also

involved in community-based en-

vironmental groups. ~

The authors of the various fet-
ters seem to have substituted hard
facts with much unwarranted criti-
cism of those who truly care about
the future of our province's forest
resource.

It is precisely these types of false
allegations that promote fear and
hard feelings in industry workers
who justifiably fear for their jobs.
It is high time, however, to stop
pointing the finger at those seeking
solutions, and zero in on the real
causes of the current forestry
