Boundary Forest Watchdogs

Our members have backgrounds and expertise in forestry. They are regularly checking forestry activity in the Boundary watershed to ensure that ecosystems are being protected as much as possible and that forestry practices are done to high standards. BFWSS is in contact with the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development to regularly report concerns. Below are some of the videos, letters, and photos we have generated. Our forests are in crisis and we aim to do everything possible to restore and protect them.

May 2019 – Hornet Creek cutblocks were put up for auction by BC Timber Sales. We want to ensure that when logging occurs, the damage to bat habitat is minimized and riparian zones are protected. Unfortunately, BC legislation allows for clearcutting which means the riparian zones will be negatively affected and bat habitat and bat food sources will disappear.
