2001réf. 462a0672Surrey BC Canada: Heritage House Publishing Company Ltd. Fine. 2001. First Edition. Paperback. 1894384326 . 236 pages including index. At 88 years of age Merve Wilkinson no doubt ranks as the Moses of North American eco-forestry. His 136-acre homestead Wildwood situated on a lush Vancouver Island peninsula just south of Nanaimo B.C. has become the leading example of intelligent forestry on Canada's west coast and gained an international reputation as a prime example of sustainable logging. Merve who was awarded both the Orders of British Columbia and of Canada for his life's work is an activist of whom all Canadians should be proud. In 1999 when Wilkinson defended himself and fellow protesters in court after the standoff at Clayoquot Sound the B.C. judge who heard the case in a statement of unbridled respect declared Merve "magnificently unrepentant." "In speaking out against current industrial clearcut logging practices Merve has become a genuine Canadian hero. Uncompromising tough fearless with a wonderful sense of humour he is now an elder who inspires young people to refer to his home as Mervana. This is a story that should be read by all who care about the future and seek alternatives to our destructive ways." - Dr. David Suzuki. "Recently I had the privilege of spending a day with a most remarkable forester Merve Wilkinson and his wife Ann. Since 1939 Merve has logged his 136-acre forest nine times: walk into it today and it is like walking into one of nature's cathedrals. The forest is beautiful the old giant trees still standing more animal species there than when he began - and no pesticides have been used. You see it can be done." - Jane Goodall.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; Wilkinson Merve Foresters British Columbia Biography Environmentalists Sustainable Forestry Yellow Point Cedar Nanaimo Ladysmith West Coast 236 pages including index.
