The Yin and Yang of the forest news world or how seemingly opposite stories may be complementary and interdependent: Seth Kursman explains why Resolute is suing Greenpeace under US racketeering laws; environmentalists say Ontario’s threatened caribou is at greater risk due to exemptions to Ontario’s wildlife laws.

Meanwhile: after 31 years at the helm, Ken Day is passing over the reins of his role at the UBC Alex Fraser Research Forest; Atlantic Canada’s woodlot owners could benefit from carbon offsets; a Canadian bill requiring the federal government to consider wood in their infrastructure projects passes second reading; Montana senators’ dueling wilderness bills both get hearings at the Capital; and the Washington Post takes a closer look at the tallest trees in the world.

Finally climate change adaption in BC is human-assisted but “are we playing God?“; and the “Ikea of the coffin world” allows you to assemble your own environmentally friendly, biodegradable, all-wood Exit Box.
