Weyerhaeuser, one of the big forest produce buyers, is now seeking certification for its operations. ("CERTIFICATION", put simply, requires sustainably harvested, well-managed forests with management plans in place.) Since buying logs from uncertifiable sources may not be seen as a Good Thing for Weyerhaeuser, we just might be able to scare our Texada LC "friends" into changing their barbarous logging practices if one the major markets might be closed to them.
To send an e-mail to Weyerhaeuser go to the following site :

See the article "Environmental certification programs" for more information.
Consider asking your e-mail acquaintances to send an e-mail to Weyerhaeuser pointing out that "at present" Texada's logging is FAR from eco-friendly.
