Drizzle lake Ecological Reserve Compromised by Logging Plans

July-2015: The Friends of Ecological Reserves was contacted by Mark Spoljaricon, M.Sc. Haida Fisheries Program Biologist, Skidegate Haida Gwaii on July 22 about an increased risk to the Drizzle Lake ER due to BC Timber Sales (BCTS) planned auction of harvest Block DRL I05 which makes the access to the lake more exposed. Any anthropogenic alteration to this lake
