A second Canadian forest-productsfirm said it would phase out clear-cut logging in British Columbia, a tree harvesting practice that has sparked widespread environmental criticism. TimberWest Forest Corp. cited public and marketconcern over the industry's environmental practices for its decision to end clear-cutting in the thick coastal forests along the Pacific Ocean over the next four years. Clear-cutting is the indiscriminate cutting of whole tracts of forested areas. Environmentalists contend the practice does far more damage to established ecosystems than harvesting that leaves some of the trees behind.
