REQUIEM FOR A FOREST

2008-04-07T13:16:00.000-07:00

This was forwarded to me by Christine Friedrichsmeier from the Ministry of Forests in Vanderhoof:

Prince George Citizen - Friday, September 14, 2007 - Page 4 - By David Jorgenson

Dead red B.C. trees decayed away

REQUIEM FOR A FOREST

There's a region in central B.C.,

Where the money it's said grew on trees,

But the pine trees turned red,

For the pine trees were dead,

And the problem is one of degrees.

Now the climate is warmer, you see,

Which is good for the bugs that eat trees,

So the beetles are fine,

And on pine trees they'll dine,

Turn the heat up a bit more, if you please.

Then the government made up a plan,

To deal with this blight on the land.

Let's cut all the dead pine trees down,

Haul the logs to the mills in the towns.

But the mills wanted green trees instead,

For they're worth more than trees which are dead.

So they clearcut the spruce and the fir,

Forests that are, became forests that were.

The dead pine will be left to decay,

While the green trees are all hauled away,

Till the wood supply's down,

Cash and jobs then leave town,

And it's those who remain that will pay.

Soon a landscape once heavily treed,

From its arboreal cloak will be freed,

And the rubble that's left,

Of all trees now bereft,

Is a legacy to corporate greed.

After reviewing the responses of the Red & Blue artists collective I'll post images of
work that other artists have made about the impact of MPB in BC.
You wanted a different page, so here is the new blog "More beetleart"!
