I am an active and avid hiker on our beautiful coast, taking groups up our extensive and varied trails at least four days a week. Lately, however, I’m becoming increasingly concerned with the amount of logging that is going on, especially on Elphinstone, the Chapman and Gray Creek areas.
I spent a morning calling around to the SCRD and District of Sechelt and anyone I could think of to find out where to avoid road building, logging trucks flying down the road, and active logging. It’s no fun driving all the way up and finding out you can’t go in. To my surprise, no one could answer my questions of where to avoid or when the logging will be stopped due to a dry forest. Really, SCRD? No one knows what’s going on in our forest that you guys are supposed to be in charge of? Wow. Shocking. I guess we all have to take our chances if we want to enjoy our forests on the Sunshine Coast.
Where do our tax dollars go? I’m sure if I called ELF, they would be more helpful even though they are very busy trying to save our watershed. Wish our taxes went to them. Keep up the truly caring work, ELF.
