Comments on TimberWest's logging plan for TFL 47
TimberWest's response is here. The DIFCP's reply to that response is here. TimberWest ended the dialogue at one response, as usual. DIFCP is putting together a complaint to the Forest Practices Board about TimberWest's proposed forest stewardship plan for the Johnstone Strait blocks of TFL 47 and the rate of logging that has occurred there. -

Comments on TimberWest's logging plan for TFL 47
These comments certainly call for appropriate responses to address the issues expressed. I am interested to know how these comments have been addressed. Thank you for the excellent presentation. Jim Leishman -

Most of BC's 2023 wildfires burned in a small area of BC subject to intense industrial development, but nobody is talking about that. Why not?
This whole thing is making me sick to my stomach. Why aren't people outraged, indeed. -

Tree planters are misinformed about the impact of what they are doing
As a 21-year veteran BC treeplanter who has planted more than a million trees in BC, and who supervised the planting of ten million more, I think you do treeplanters a disservice by implying that they're too stupid to understand the scale of the voracious industrial devastation they are crawling through, or how treeplanting is used as propaganda by the logging industry to justify what they do. All the treeplanters I know are keenly aware of this, and many of them become informed, conscientious forest protection activists as a result of their experience. Nobody quite sees the true state of BC's forest destruction quite like treeplanters do. It is regretable that you also describe treeplanters in PG as "sticking out like a sore thumb." Treeplanters, who bring millions of dollars into the PG economy every year are routinely abused there, -for example, when the the spring season was delayed by a late snowfall and treeplanters were stuck in town, former Mayor Colin Kingsley advocated "throwing all these hippy layabouts out." Since then, I have never spent a single dollar in Prince George. -

The NDP’s recent revamping of forest legislation returns stewardship of BC forests to the government and provides powerful new tools for the public to make a difference
Awesome work, as ever David! So grateful you're hard at it! As I write, the helicopter is taking timbercruisers past our community here on Denny Island, -off into the heart of the so-called "Great Bear Rainforest," where the bloodshot relentless eye of voracious Big Logging has now turned.. -
