Yes there is lots of silt, and I note your comments have been published. By the way it is there land to forest not denude and sell off for realestate. That was not the terms with which they got the land. They should be replanting and growing trees for future logging (read jobs) not paving it.
Hey Ganges you need to get in the 21st century. The government removed anything to do with zoning etc. Private land or not, up until this government became spectators in the industry (read dereulgated everything) no one was allowed to cut logs in our drinking water. OUR drinking water.
sure, anysilting in the drinking water? nope. Sooke lake watershed was logged for decades with no issues by the Victoria waterboard. No man YOU need to get in the 21st century. Island Timberlands is logging their own land with low-impact single stem tree helilogging taking all measures to mitigate any silt or debris in the Englishman. They arent in the park nor in the river. So whats your point? Your mad its in NEXT to your park and river, point taken but its on their land and harvested properly
Never forget Victoria's Sooke lake watershed was logged for decades without issue. Its recovered great and you know this. The point is is I.T. is harvesting with single-stem helilogging, a very low-impact method, along the river. I can see no problem in this. Traditional cutblocks are further inland, with no deleterious silt or debris entering your watercourse or drinking. Its on private land, not a park, this has gone on next to virtually every other coastal park only now your making a big deal
and I relish the fact you block out my comments now pending approval, which completely shows you only post comments that you agree with, yet screening out folks like me that you hate to see comment. Whatever you want, man. I dont think you'll do much to stop the operation anyway, ah forget it, why do i bother anyway
to my knowledge its privately owned land which is owned by Island Timberlands. A person can do whatever they see fit on their land. Which means that it doesn't matter what parks, tree huggers, or any other special interest have for input. They have just as much to log as a person has to build on their property. By the way they are harvesting with the least disturbance. I underline the fact that this is private land, and the owner can do what they see fit with their privately owned property.
