Ancient Forest Alliance Applauds CRD Parks for Considering Public Input

A group who’s mission is to save the island’s old growth forests is giving CRD Parks a pat on the back, for hosting a number of public input meetings over the past two weeks.

Co-founder of the Ancient Forest Alliance Ken Wu says Vancouver Island has the finest and largest old growth forests and largest trees in the country, and this gave the public a chance to help protect them:

“the CRD right now is soliciting public input to determine candidate protected areas, and the overall strategic direction of regional parks and trails. Because we are focused on protecting old growth forests, this is a first rate opportunity to save old growth forests in the CRD.”

Wu says this move by the CRD follows another they applaud, the commitment to help fund the purchase of the Western Forest Products lands.
