We believe that it's extremely important to display the PROPOSED plan so that the public can review it and have their concerns addressed PRIOR TO the final plan being submitted.
The proposed cutblocks are displayed in red below. Some of the cutblocks are extremely large (~200 football fields) and have little vegetation between the cutblocks. The vast majority of harvestable forest in this area will be removed with most of the remaining forest being left only on slopes too steep to harvest
