| Message | While private sector growth is important a long range view must be taken. What trees will these companies chop down in 25 or 50 years if replanting requirements aren't in place. Not to mention the devastation Solentian wildlife and ecosystems will face with widespread clear cutting. How does the TRIP plan to deal with those consequences? |
