As a property owner in the Amalguin highlands area I am concerned about the logging that is currently underway in the area. We see increased heavy truck access, which leads to poorer air quality and speeds up the deterioration of our, already, poor quality of road and highway networks.

I applaud the authors of this document.
It looks to be a well researched, consulted and written product.
I am however concerned when I see areas after clear cut and selective logging operations.
I like many Ontarians love being in the bush.

How about a use or loose policy on harvesting rights.how a certain company can hold multiple licenses in our area , but only run 2 out of 5 facilities, is wrong.if the facility is not running.... then the license for that facility should be on hold .

Bring back the responsibility for forest compliance to the government. Industry is not doing a very good job of self compliance. At the very least do a better job of compliance auditing.
Please protect our forests. Please consider our methods to access more wood for your industry needs rather than opening up our protected forests to destruction just for a dollar value.

With respect to the many consultations that have provided input to the strategy I have one question that remains unanswered after several reviews of the document.
How will Ontario's Forest Sector Strategy be protected from any adverse effects of the Species at Risk legislation?

I read over the proposed strategy relating to the Forestry sector. Seems to be put together well. I have been a member of the Blue Water Alliance cluster for a number of years. I find this networking group is playing a key role in relation to this subject.

In an age where we, as citizens of this planet, are faced with climate change, ocean degradation and severe biodiversity loss, I am startled that our province thinks that "putting more wood to work" is the first priority of our provincial forest sector strategy.

Great work on the strategy! Utilizing the forests of Ontario is beneficial to the environment and the economy. The most underutilized forests in Ontario are the ones furthest from a processing facility.

Forest sector strategy must consider effects on tourism and recreational users of forest and access roads not just forest industry . Forest industry has too much control over our natural resources and only manages for wood fibre without considering sustainably of other resources.

As a resident of northwest Ontario It is becoming harder and harder to find anywhere to cut my allotted 3 cords for personal use. Driving miles to cut garbage wood off a slash pile is not what I will do. Standing dead on crown land should be available to the locals to heat our homes.
