Community forest activity picks up

These days, sounds of machinery and trees being cut down can be heard from the Alberni Community Forest block near the old West Bay Hotel.

Forestry trucks drive in, using a few roads and bridges that were built in June and July before the fire danger risk went up. After being delayed for a month by the extreme fire danger rating, which stayed until early October, local contractors are only now able to build new roads, re-activate old roads and harvest trees in the community forest.
