(click image to read more on this historic agreement)The softwood industry has been hit hard with a drop in lumber and paper demand in recent years. I think this is a model agreement that clearly benefits both parties. It's a great marketing coup for industry, and a big win for activist boycott pressure by environmental organizations. As a sustainable forester on a very small scale, I see this as the smart, sustainable move on the way forward for Canadian forestry.
Bravo!
