Isn't it amazing how people want to destroy our natural resources for money, we've been to Chapman Falls, tasted the water....it's not worth it to destroy a fresh water source like this....we need it to live...If it wasn't for the activity of the Sechelt First Nation this could be gone forever....

sammy that comment just goes to show how much of a ignorant, trash talking coward you are, it sure is easy to be a keyboard thug and make insults behind your hewlett-packard, i dare you to voice your "profound" opinions to an actual first nations person and be prepared to spend the next 5 minutes picking your teeth up off the ground

We couldn't breath without our trees, The mist of the forest seeps Within you and me Its for our wild life to roam free, They are important to humanity Without our forests of green It would be an ugly scene. Our water is our only means To have life for every being Keeps our body fresh and clean Or for our fish that swim up stream For our foods planted in the ground, Water is life and beauty abound Without clean water There will be death all around

Smart humans don't log in the watershed.
