Editorials and letters about forestry in Nova Scotia continued..July 25, 2017 & thoughts of a Silent Spring

“The thought of not being able to hear the ethereal flute-like song of a solitary hermit thrush at day’s end is most upsetting to me.”

Donna Crossland’s op-ed Slaying songbirds for woodchips in the CH July 22, 2017 (view post about it on this website) elicited two supportive, if sorrowful, letters in the CH July 25, 2017

From BG in Canning:

Donna Crossland’s article on songbirds (July 22) broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes… Will we never learn? So sad for our miraculous planet.

From VR in Yarmouth:

My sentiments echo Donna Crossland’s. I will be writing the minister of natural resources about this issue; I feel DNR is not motivated to change forestry practices…The thought of not being able to hear the ethereal flute-like song of a solitary hermit thrush at day’s end is most upsetting to me.

To me too.
