Peter Ackhurst, Chair, Cheakamus Community Forest Dear Editor, Re: “Must rethink old-growth logging,” Question letters, April 5. The CCF board clearly understands the tourism benefits of the forest, and is working to reduce impacts and develop partnerships with local stakeholders like WORCA and commercial operators.
Logging is not new in the Whistler area and had not stopped in the last decade. The RMOW in particular got involved in the CCF so that it would have control over where logging takes place around Whistler, instead of simply hoping that Ministry of Forests logging plans wouldn’t negatively affect our community, environment, views and tourism. Control is the key. Apr 12, 2012 Whistler Question
