Hi marcos; A friend who's interested in forestry and spent a lot of time in Switzerland told me that he'd never seen such carefully managed forests. My guess is that trees are worth a lot more in Switzerland (relative to cost of labor) than they are in Canada, and that this would account for most of the difference in management practices. But what do you know about the "Swedish model"? The US doesn't spend a lot of time examining what goes on in obscure socialist countries on the periphery of the old world because we know that we already know how to do everything the right way, but sometimes it just interests us to follow the practices of, for example, the natives of Borneo or the loggers of Sweden. (I'm thinking about writing an article for "National Geographic," and the Swedish ladies in their quaint clothing would make for great pictures.) -- Carl
