The spraying of our forest does not make ecological or economic sense. It is harmful to the environment, wildlife and people.

The citizens of Northern New Brunswick want the government of New Brunswick to:
-Ensure the protection of the health of families and future generations.
-An end to death of wildlife, trees and plants caused by aerial spraying.
-Stop the extermination of our deciduous hardwood trees for more profitable conifers.
-Encourage rational and sustainable development and the conservation of our biodiversity.
-Safeguard our landscapes and our environmental heritage.

Forest aerial spraying is an irresponsible and dangerous activity that threatens the health of all life forms and we are all concerned. Stop the spraying!

    • When will enough be enough! There has been enough destruction in New Brunswick's Forests!!! Between spraying, clear cutting, select cutting...what next? This is NOT Forest Management. Maybe Premier Graham and the Minister's of Natural Resources and the Environment should take a walk in private and Crown land so they can see first hand the destruction. I can provide pictures and video taken in the past 2 months showing the destruction of the land and how it is driving animals out of their natural habitant.

    • Let the forest grow and give people jobs thinning if you want to keep a species.The birds and wildlife will survive then.

    • Government had better start listening, because it seems to me that most of the people signing this Petition are young and are the vote base. Enough is enough, and we have been fighting on this issue for years!

    • It's time for the Government to stand up to the Irvings on this matter. Irvings Ltd. is not outside the law or exempt from obligations to human, animal and forest rights. Long-term economic growth (land and labour resources) should not be compromised by aerial spraying merely for the sake of Irvings short-term profit objectives.

    • I understand that the spraying of single species forest is necessary to eliminate pests and diseases. Surely we should be planting mixed species to maintain forest health. Industry will disagree as it requires cheap wood but for the health of our forests and people in the future we should make changes to forest policy.

    • I feel that I have been personally affected by spraying in NB. Although it was DDT in those days, it was,nevertheless deemed "safe" by the NB government. At age eleven, I was directly sprayed by a spray plane while out playing in a huge field behind my home. At age twenty-two, I developed breast cancer, an almost unheard of diagnosis for someone so young. I have long associated it with the DDT spray that I had been doused with years earlier. An oncologist in Toronto confirmed my self-diagnosis. It's time we stopped all this craziness. The sprays today may be called by innocuous sounding names such as "Vision" but they are really potent toxins which are capable of killing.
