2001236 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. Book

Pests attacking coniferous hosts are separated from those attacking hardwoods, and each group is subdivided according to the kind of feeding damage and type of insect involved.
