Well, doing a bit more reading on the link in the first thread, it looks like they are logging Pine after all. Not sure if the Pine beetle has already infested the stands they will harvest or not, but that is the reason they are logging there.
I undestand why people are upset, but there is a reason for the logging........it's not a pure money grab. I know from my experiences with the compay I work for that logging Pine stands is far from a monetary-driven reason for being there, but we do it to try and control the massive problems with the beetle.
I think those of you against it and want to write your MLAs or whomever should.......you should voice your concerns and ask questions. That's never a bad thing.
But IMO, I understand why they are logging there. It likely won't look pretty or make many people that use that area very happy, but I do understand why they are doing it.
