Abstract

The article offers information related to the 1972 Planning Guidelines for Coast Logging Operations and the National Democratic Party (NDP) government's response to the forests and other natural resources in Canada. It relates the subject that Jeremy Wilson discussed regarding the necessity of understanding the environmental politics during the early 1970s period. It also highlights the response of the Guidelines, which represented the British Columbia Forest Service (BCFS) over the rising public discomfort over the ecological consequences of unrestrained clearcutting of trees.
