Shades of Green: Finding a Middle Path Through the Forest

By Chrissy Sharp

I became frustrated that no new thinking was emerging to confront the challenges climate change poses for the forests. The real question is not "To log or not to log?" but "How do we best care for our forests?"

Let's call this forest stewardship.' At times quirky and disarmingly personal, at others deeply philosophical, Shades of Green weaves three separate but inseparable streams into a compelling narrative -
A posthumous memoir of nearly 50 years of campaigning for the forests of Australia's south-west.
A discourse on ethics and effectiveness in politics, based on crossbench experience in the balance of power.
A lucid manifesto on the active management required to help jarrah forest recover from overcutting and inappropriate fire.
The detail may be local, but the ideas reach far beyond, into the realms of global.
