A large clearcut logging operation is planned for the West Bragg Creek and Moose Mountain area in 2026

WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO LOGGING

West Fraser Forestry holds FMAs (the right to log) on 475,000 hectares from Waterton to Sundre.
​The proposed 738 hectare clearcut covers only 0.16% of SLS's FMAs.
In contrast, this clearcut will remove the majority of remaining old growth in the West Bragg Creek and Moose Mountain Area

It will have an irreversible effect on local businesses and the Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Industry

We appeared on CBC Daybreak a year ago and discussed the plans in the video on the left.

​Opponents rally against West Bragg Creek logging
The West Bragg and Moose Mountain trail network have become the most popular Outdoor Recreation area in Alberta, located outside of the parks.

​The dedicated volunteers of the Bragg Creek Trails Association and Moose Mountain Bike Trail Society
have invested OVER $7.5 MILLION DOLLARS and 100,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS to create and maintain this trail network.

These trails are now attracting over 1,000 visitors per day on average!

It has become so popular that the government is now charging a $90 Conservation Fee to access this crown land area. 
The value of this trail network far exceeds the one time benefit that a logging operation will provide.
When you purchase a Kananaskis Conservation Pass, you see the following statement: 
​"By purchasing a pass you're helping keep this special part of Alberta beautiful and protected for generations to come."

​We are asking the Government to CONSERVE and PROTECT this area for generations to come.
