Clear cuts are not sustainable! It destroys groundwater recharge capacity. Selective logging is needed to protect species that protect forests. ie: no wolves results in deer/moose eating saplings.

This is evident of lack of reasonable consultation. This is in violation of Treaty Rights and Charter Rights.
