Interfor wants to log Inside Passage

 

 

Just when the LRMP process begins Interfor wants to take the visual quality off the table by asking permission to log this (now) scenic corridor

When Tourism was important

 

The document on left was part of the process in the mid 1980s which looked to protect “other values” from industrial logging.

This culminated in a moratorium against logging our inside passage until some sort of public landuse plan was in place. That moratorium lasted a decade.

As the search for new and easily accessible wood intensified the pressure has grown.

Now just as a public LRMP is to begin, Interfor (and to much less extent Small Business) are looking to log the Grenville Channel area.

Comments on Interfor’s FDP have to be given to the company by May 15th ‘01

 

How a Ministry of Tourism document (1986) defined the Grenville Narrows

 

MOF VQO Objectives

This is from MOF and (so far as I know) internally produced for Visual Quality Objectives emphasis. (VQO)

Compare with Tourism documents which give both sides of Grenville Narrows high protection values
