Cherryville residents are taking a stand against possible logging in a sensitive area. There will be a rally today at 4 p.m. at Hanson Park against B.C. Timber Sales’ plan for a road and logging on Cherry Ridge. “It’s a safety issue for residents,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director. …On Thursday, Foisy and the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which operates a community forest, held a community meeting about BCTS issuing a road contract. About 60 people attended the session. “They have all promised to phone BCTS and demand a downstream assessment study,” said Foisy.
