Imagining a situation where cutting down trees could be deemed sustainable may be difficult. Leaving forests untouched would seem more acceptable, but in the face of human dependency on forest resources, sustainable forestry is the best course of action.
Sustainable forestry is all about balancing our needs and the well-being of forest ecosystems. The forest management method seeks to mimic how natural forests operate.
Wild forests are a hotbed of eco-diversity and great carbon sinks. They often have economic and cultural significance to local communities. Sustainable forestry aims to cultivate forests that can provide the same social and environmental benefits without giving up on the economic benefits.
Simply defined, sustainable forestry is cultivating trees for timber while protecting the surrounding biological and social ecosystem.
It's important to note that no universal sustainable forestry management system exists. That's because forest ecosystems and their social environment differ from place to place.
We have a really special group of Goldens coming into our care. These Goldens and Golden Doodles are retired breeding dogs that a commercial breeder was looking to retire. Our volunteers will be picking up these dogs and they will be arriving soon. Our rescue is looking for adopters who can give these girls and boys a wonderful new life. They need a home with a lot of patience, compassion, and understanding. These new homes MUST have a fenced yard and another dog that will help in teaching this new family member how it is to be a loved family member. It is very rewarding to adopt one of these special dogs, but they do require a dedicated adopter(s). These retired breeders have had sad lives without the care and love that we feel all dogs are entitled to have.
