In a March 10 email shared with Coast Reporter, Ross Muirhead of Elphinstone Logging Focus expressed the opinion that “If BCTS carries ahead with logging TA0521 they will be contradicting the government’s own statement of accepting all of the recommendations made by the OG [Old Growth] Review Panel.” In his view the ministry’s Technical Advisory Panel, a subset of the OG review, requires the “recruitment layer” for forest areas to have a minimum of 10 percent old-growth remaining and that BCTS’s plans for TA0521 fall short on that.
