@rhondawinter What they say is almost never what they do, sorry I am just sad by how they log.

@rhondawinter We should follow the example of the Tongass forest in Alaska. Sorry, but I am always appalled at what the logging corporations do.

They log old growth. That’s what they go for first. Old growth cedar, old growth fir, old growth sitka spruce. In order. I just wish more people cared instead of thinking Canada has a magnificent wilderness, endless supply of trees. Why would they go so far up north to log it anyhow? Maybe because everything valuable around Vancouver, Vancouver island has been Picked clean. It’s too bad everything is concealed from the public eye, they do a good job, but you can’t stop people from driving down logging roads. What I say is true, do not trust a logging corporation or the BC government’s main source of revenue.

Here’s one I’ll hand pick somewhere — http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t14Ld3NNpEc/TfhL6T8zAWI/AAAAAAAAB5U/7bU5dHCwNkg/s1600/clearcut_valley2.JPG

That’s what you don’t see, folks. That’s what is going on as we speak.

Why can’t we do something about it? I really wish someone would.

Google “Great Bear Rainforest Clear cut” Not asking you to, but anyone who does this will be in for a reality check. What you see on a magazine or a promotional picture is far from the truth. 33% is only their quota, anyways.

I completely agree with you. @bloody-maggot

How could they say they are protecting it when only 33% is protected from being raped by clear cuts.

Why can’t we protect 100% of old growth forest? When only something like 13% of the world’s old growth remains?

perhaps 5 – 6 % remains here.

Hi Mr. Varaleau,

Thanks very much for your comment. Yes, I was especially happy to be able to write such good news about an area so close to my birthplace. I always keep an eye out for forestry issues in Canada in general and BC in particular.

It must be pleasant for you to report on a success story like this. Especially when it is so close to your homeland.

Your photo and the words here are inspirational.
