Please join our concerned citizen's group for a field review of Goose Creek cut block. We are all to meet at the Goose Creek Forest Road in Pass Creek at 10 am on Tuesday, October 8th.
This is an important opportunity to ask Kalesnikoff Lumber Company (KLC) questions about blowndown trees in Goose Creek watershed and request information about and changes to the upcoming logging in Pass Creek.
SUMMARY OF REQUESTS TO KLC:
Concerned Citizens want KLC to leave wide bands of forested area running through clear cuts 3 times as wide as the trees are tall to mitigate effects of the inevitable blowdown. The bands should connect to groves or islands and the left area should include all different health specimens of conifer trees (not just deciduous and diseased trees). This will allow for genetic diversity of natural regrowth, wildlife corridors, prevention of blowdown, and mitigate the affects on the viewscape.
We are also requesting:
Clear, accurate and approved maps which outline what is going to be logged now and what will be logged in the future with rough timeframe; results from a windthrow assessment; a root rot management plan; and a fuel spill management plan. These are essential items to ensure our water and viewscapes are protected.
PLEASE ATTEND - for more information or directions, contact passcreekvalley@gmail.com.

SIGN PETITION to Take BC Government to Court to STOP its Unconstitutional Life Threatening Logging
WHY IS THIS URGENT ACTION IMPORTANT?
The Provincial Government of British Columbia is acting in blatant contempt of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; people's physical and mental integrity, safety, and lives are not only being ignored, they are being manipulated out of existence. They are increasing clear-cut logging in watershed and logging-caused landslide areas of the West Kootenays, using closed, industry-biased processes to change already delineated legal criteria.
JOIN our CONCERNED CITIZEN'S GROUP to learn more.
