Logging Rupert’s viewscape

Thought this wasn’t going to happen

LRMP etc meant to preserve

  Presentation to Council and consultation document in library

 

Comments till Nov 7th

 

The green areas are visible from town—see below for where cuts planned

 

 

Consultation document weak – inadequate – I did not find it on web site as stated below; nor were there any forms for comments – neither on WWW site nor in library

 

This is good use of technology—computer generated—those dark areas are logging roads (red on fig right) – and looking at 2 to right see only few green patches visible from Prince Rupert – image below  -- but cutblock 10 is most worrisome and not shown at council meeting

PowerPoint presentation to City Council had more useful info

 

But none of this was in the Library consultation booklet which has little useful info – see below as example – cut and paste from ‘rules’

What about fisheries values? (note logging road crosses McNichol between cutblock 7 & 4)

What about the archeological village site at McNichol? (both on \mount-morse.htm)

Serious concerns that seem to be brushed aside as inconsequential – ‘no established Fisheries sensitive watersheds’ ---- so don’t bother me with coho/ pink salmon runs  -- Plus is area being high graded? (is the profile being cut or just better areas of more valuable wood)

 

Fisheries values

&

Heritage village site

Ignored

Is this adequate Consultation??

Contrast the new system set up by ‘New Era’ Liberals where proponent consults with public with older system – see my Tuck inlet from several years ago
