Almost 200 nations, including Canada and the United States, signed on to a last-minute climate deal at COP26. Perspectives on the agreement include: what Canada agree to do; the European Council’s view on the new EU forest strategy; and Oxfam on the challenge with fixing the climate with trees. Meanwhile: railway competitors take issue with CP/KCS merger plan; Quebec fences in another caribou herd; and US to spend billion on wildfire prevention. 

In response to BC’s old growth deferrals: forest workers plan a Stand up for Forestry rally; the Wilderness Committee calls for war-time transition investments; the Fairy Creek protesters vow to stay in the woods; and the RCMP on note some unexpected safety risks. 

Finally, a note from our readers on the North American lumber comrodery at NAWLA.
