Forest industry finds an ally in NOMA

The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association is going to bat for the Ontario forest industry.  It's started an effort to exempt the industry from more red tape under the Endangered Species Act.   NOMA President Anne Krassilowsky says that forest companies are already required to file to identify threatened and endangered species when they prepare a Forest Management Plan.   NOMA has launched an email writing campaign to lobby the government on the issue.
