Mayor vows to keep fighting for old growth

2012 Cheakamus Community Forest harvesting plans include 60 per cent old-growth forest  – She may have lost the first round in the battle to save Whistler’s old growth trees, but the mayor intends to keep on fighting. 

Earlier this year she opposed the Cheakamus Community Forest’s 2012 harvesting plans, but Nancy Wilhelm-Morden was defeated at the board table in the 5 to 1 vote. And so, plans are moving ahead to cut trees in four specific management areas, including trees more than 250 years old, in areas to the south and west of Whistler.
