National Forest Week was last week and I attended one function that of the film night hosted by Jerry Canuel. The 2 films last Thursday evening were A working Forest: its future with fire and wildlife 64 minutes. The film was moderated by Chuck Leavell the legendary Rolling Stones rock artist . The film shows  family owned woodlands in American Society.The second film was Goodwood: 44 minutes  a view of a Honduras livelihood coming from making chairs out of select trees and not from marginal agriculture . Both films were viewpoint well away from the Canadian system of forest resource development.

The film gave a perspective of what other world experience is and how some things compare such as value added and management by fire.Both items have some place in the dynamic of the peripheral forestry efforts here. Jerry Canuel the host of the film night works for mainstream mills and said there method is clear cutting .
