There has been a lot of clearcutting of the forest of New Brunswick, Canada, in recent years. Here a porcupine seems to be challanging a large bulldozer that is getting ready to clear roads for the large wood harvesters that will strip and devastate his habitat and home.

Kent County, New Brunswick, CANADA
has to be one of the world's best kept secret. It is bordered by the sea to the east and is made up of small villages, farms, forest, brooks and rivers. I have lived here all my life and
would recommend it to anyone.

Maz, I've been checking out your website once in a while and the idea of moving to your neck of the woods is becoming very appealing - especially with the low land prices. Where I live, you could probably add a "0" to the end of many of your numbers.

So how bad is the clear-cutting and do they sell the land after they clear it? Like I mentioned, I could easily see myself buying some of the properties you deal in within 5-10 years, but I'm broke at the moment. I do like the idea of buying a private, secluded, large, wooded lot to build a modest home on, even if I don't live there all year (like right now). Have you ever domesticated a moose?

Great Capture! being at the right place at the right time is some what important. Unless of course the porcupine is a pet of yours and you planted him there for the photo. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you all for your comments on my porcupine protest photo and no, jaypie77 I have never domesticated a Moose but was chased by one. Please send me an email if I can be of service concerning land.

Tiananmen Square did come to mind Mega Trixel when I first saw the photo.

The porcupine is not a pet stonylonesome, but I did read a book a long time ago that was called "How do you spank a porcupine".

Thanks for the positive comments ,CyberDyneSystems and Fer.

Here is an "After Photo" of what is left of the woodlands that the porcupine was trying to protect after it was cut by a harvester. The tree harvester cuts trees in a row and reaches side to side with a long boom with cutting blade and claw. It strips the branches and drives on them as it proceeds. Usually nothing is left.

This is a photo I took in the "cockpit" of a modern wood harvester. It can cut 100 cords of wood a day and replaces 20 lumberjacks. The computerize system gives you a printout of what was cut, the lengths, diameters and a multitude of other data including how many times the operator had a coffee or a p*e.

People are more aware now and concern about the future and slowly with education more sustainable logging practices are being used here in New Brunswick as well.

Hope you like the additional photos.

Thanks
