Last Sunday, June 3, I walked through Wilson Creek forest with another 30 people on a walk organized by Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF).
The forest is very impressive, both for its varied fauna and flora, and water flowing through the creek and ponds with frogs in them. The loop trail is well marked and easy to follow. There are some 25 spots with the description and explanation of what one sees at each stop.
All this beauty would have been gone for good if it were not for a few dedicated volunteers from ELFwho managed to save this area from logging. I find it hard to believe that some 130 years since Stanley Park was protected and made into a park and some 70 years since Cathedral Grove was saved that governments andpeople still don't have the insight to save suchplaces.
British Columbia is fortunate in having huge forests, and I am not against loggingas such, but can we please leave some of these forests for our children and grandchildren?
I would like to thank ELF for their great efforts and hope that more Sunshine Coasters will go to the ELF website, and let their voices be heard both locally, provincially and federally.
