ya last season they did a 2 episode feature on north ontario can't recall exactly where though. Last night it was north Wisconsin show.

Awesome habitat in that show. Too bad our government doesn't manage our forests like they do in Wisconsin.

Think that forest is managed for pulp and paper where our forest, esp county forest are managed for timber.
Simcoe just purchased a private property I hunt. Spoke to the forestery guy and asked what the plan was. Gonna plant red and white pine plantation.
When asked why not let it just regenerate on own as edge habitat and new growth his response was people want to see trees.

One good thing I've noticed there has been some second and third cutting of the pine plantations that made for better habitat. with the more open rows rasberry and other shurbbery is filling in.
The only thing the slash left behind sure makes walking through the stuff almost impossble.

There in lies the problem. People just aren't educated enough to know that those pine plantations are a wasteland and void of all life. Maybe biologists should be traveling the country educating tree huggers on the benefits of clear cutting and diversity of trees in our county forests.
