Wells Gray Community Forest holds annual general meeting

Then it was a great blessing for us.”  That was the testimony given by local logging contractor Dale Miller during Wells Gray Country Community Forest Corporation’s annual general meeting on April 14. 

Logging for the community forest allowed him to keep employed 11 people after Weyerhaeuser closed down its local wood harvest operations, said Miller.
