Terry Hunt got behind his first power saw at 13. He ate, lived and worked with men twice his age at a lumber camp near Five Islands, not far from Parrsboro.
This was forestry in Nova Scotia before the big machines — teams of 20 to 40 men with chainsaws accompanied by horses or tractors hauling the trees to the roadside for transport to the new pulp and paper mills that had brought good-paying, steady work to Liverpool, Port Hawkesbury and Pictou County.
Over the past 40 years, forestry has changed dramatically and Hunt has changed with it.
