Nova Scotia forests are at risk of disappearing and citizens need to be heard. Signing this petition will send a strong and clear message to Premier Darrell Dexter to reverse the decision to allow cutting for biomass on the Crown lands of Nova Scotia.The forest is being targeted as the quick solution for the renewable energy commitment. The forests have already been subjected to massive cutting which is having severe impacts on waterways, wildlife habitat and soil nutrients. This practice is not an acceptable solution to the sustainable energy decision and citizens have to speak up against this and be heard.
I have been reviewing the testimonials left on this page and the depth of concern for our local ecosystems is profound. These accounts provide a clear mandate for our efforts as I prepare to submit our formal grievances to the office of the Premier.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the growing public refusal to accept the destruction of our precious woodland ecosystems. It is clear that the preservation of our natural heritage remains a priority for those who value our province's long-term environmental health.

My kids deserve to see the woods like I did growing up. Please stop the biomass cutting before there is nothing left.

Very concerned about the water quality if they keep clear cutting like this. Listen to the people for once.

Stop destroying our home for a quick buck. Once these old forests are gone they dont just grow back overnight.

Keep cutting and see what happens to the tourism here. Nobody wants to visit a barren wasteland.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. LEAVE THE TREES ALONE!

The wildlife loss is already bad enough. We should be protecting our land not clearing it for energy projects that dont make sense.
