…Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) has reached out to the shíshálh Nation to ensure that they have the opportunity to document what may be culturally modified and wildlife trees within the cutblock before they are removed. Those included several instances of three red cedars growing together at the base and then separating. “We have not seen this type of tree before which suggests some kind of cultural modification…recall that the seasonal village was steps away from this location so past activities could very well have occurred,” ELF spokesperson Ross Muirhead stated in a Feb. 17 email to the Nation which was shared with Coast Reporter.
