Excellent. My first job out of Ranger School was working w Bob preparing for the St Mary's River project which was designed to explore the impact of ns forestry on wildlife/riparian zones with the goal of developing guidelines for forestry ops going forward. I've been so frustrated for years to see how the smz's got reduced down to the ineffectual things that they are today. So glad to see Bob keeping the pressure on: the science is clear and obvious.
The name must change from DNRR to Department of Environmental Protection, and the philosophy along with it. DNR has always been about exploiting the environment and allowing big business to rape it. Groups have been battling so many issues for many decades and it seems we take one step forward and two back with each issue. How stupid we are trying to save the Right Whale from extinction, yet our government is allowing cruise ships to ply the waters here and expanding our shipping docks to allow for more and larger ships. Governments will do these things, because they are addicted to the corporate dollar they receive. Individuals can slow and stop much of this by taking a serious look at how they live. Do people really need to go on a cruise? Do they need to buy all that crap from China? Do they need to build a large house or large addition? Sorry, I didn't mean to go on such a rant.
