Shades of Green by Chrissy Sharp
Finding a middle path through the Forest
‘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.’
Chrissy Sharp
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 being ethical and effective in politics based on lived crossbench balance of power experience.
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.
