Sunshine Coast Watershed - Update Aug 12 2007 Part 2 of 2

Part Two - Aug 12 2007 update of the Chapman Creek Community Watershed situation on the Sunshine Coast BC. It is unknown as of yet how Western Forest Products or the community will respond to the partial restriction to logging imposed by the Order by the Sunshine Coast Regional District, Board of Health. This is a sensitive area that many feel needs complete preservation in order to safeguard the future of drinking water and the ecosystem provided by the old growth forests. The area has been logged in the past and was still "in recovery".

heres a lil fun fact for you hippys way back in the day forest fires used to naturally ocher this gave the young growth trees a chance to grow and now that you retards keep putting them out logging has become a great substitute if you guys had any brains youd know about this stop wasting peoples time and money put down the joint and pick up a chain saw !!!!

As to the green house gasses, you should know that a second growth forest consumes way more CO2 and produces may more O2.

Great stuff!

A very worthwhile project.

I'll be posting some of the pathetic old growth habitat and creak destruction I've come across here on Vancouver Island.

Its painfully obvious to anyone who gets out into the wilderness country , a moratorium on what little we have left of our old growth habitat is long overdue.

"The battle we have fought, and are still fighting, for the forests is a part of the eternal conflict between right and wrong, and we cannot expect to see the end of it... we must count on watching and striving for these trees, and should always be glad to find anything so surely good and noble to strive for." - John Muir (to the Sierra Club, Nov 23, 1895)
