Dakota Bear Sanctuary (polygons removed)

Posted May 21, 2021 | Categories : 156,ER Proposals,Logging old-growth,Maps,Reports |

From Elphinstone Logging Focus: The latest (April 1st, 2021) BCTS Planning Map shows that the series of A87126 blocks that make up the Dakota Bear Sanctuary no longer appear.  This eraser of their polygons from the map is a thing of beauty. With the block shading removed the topo for the area reveals how steep it is to access their former mountaintop logging plan. 

 
The dotted green lines over on the right, along with the light green lines are previously logged areas. The 2 big BCTS logging operations (the other one being the Roberts Creek Headwaters Forest) along this branch of the Dakota-Sechelt FSR are now history.
