DALLAS, TEXAS: FOREST ACTIVISM Nov 9 2002
Forest Activists Crash Timber Baron Conference
Friday, November 8, was the opening day of the 110th annual conference of
the North American Wholesale Lumber Association (NAWLA) in Dallas, Texas.
Member companies of NAWLA log old-growth forests in the United States and
around the world, despite popular disapproval of such practices, and have
been called "North America's real ecoterrorists" for doing so. The
conference was joyfully disrupted by forest activists from Texas and
Cascadia, who hung a banner from the seventh story of the hotel's atrium,
and then crashed a fancy luncheon with "a twelve-piece revolutionary
marching band", where they threw sawdust in the air and leafletted. Outside
the hotel, bridges, boxes and billboards were plastered with poster-sized
wheatpastes declaring, "NAWLA = Blood Timber". One forest defender said,
"There is no reason to believe the action this round is over yet." Stay tuned.
