Are you serious?
Québec land area: 1,365,128 km²
Québec total annual timber harvest: 4.8 million m³
New Brunswick land area: 71,450 km²
New Brunswick timber harvest from Crown lands: 5.4 million m³
New Brunswick timber harvest from private lands: 3 million m³
Québec protected areas alone are more than twice the size of the whole of New Brunswick.
What other populated region in North America is as intensely logged as New Brunswick? Maybe rural Oregon or Washington?
- bigirondba 6y agoYeah, but rural PNW is mountainous valleys. Lots of geographic separation from population centers in terms of tree farming areas. If it’s some sort of “runoff” from logging, unless it hits the water table (water tends to come from wells, not lakes/rivers) it’s unlikely to be easily exposed in the populace.
