Readers may recall an article in early December 2023 regarding the Sunshine Coast Community Forest’s (a logging company owned by the District of Sechelt) five-year logging plan indicating that the public had just up to Dec. 20 to provide feedback. They expected people to wade through their website, analyze the block list, cross-reference maps, and then provide some kind of intelligent input. ELF penned a letter to the editor afterwards asking SCCF to extent the feedback period to April 1, 2024, so we could get people out to see new areas being planned. That request was ignored. The new blocks planned out to 2028 will come back around to comment on; however, ELF sees this as a flawed engagement process since SCCF doesn’t hold “walk-in-the-woods” to visit the forests under question.
