Editor:
Last week a letter writer proposed that ELF could get the public out to each planned forest cut, and deliver meaningful feedback by the 1st of April.
Thirty thousand untrained Coast residents are imagined by Elphinstone Logging Focus to perform this inspection under the guidance of ELF and with ELF’s explicit purpose to “look at what could be lost.”
I’d hazard this could take several years, if ELF has the personnel to manage it. But we already have fully trained professional foresters who can right now tell you what will be lost, and more importantly what will be gained by the work that our Community Forest has done and continues to do.
