Two cutblocks identified as TA 0521 near Joe Smith Creek are on BC Timber Sale’s (BCTS) proposed “auction block” list for this year. Located on the slopes above the residential areas and the Highway 101 corridor between Roberts Creek and Gibsons, they are BCTS’s only lower Sunshine Coast cutblocks scheduled for sale in 2023. In a Jan. 3 press release, Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) called for cancellation of that sale. It states that logging the area “threatens local water security, infrastructure such as culverts and roads, and undermines the resilience and livability of our communities.”
