Re: 鈥淛uan de Fuca trail closure 鈥榟orrible鈥� for businesses,鈥� May 2.
I find it more horrible that B.C. Timber Sales is logging adjacent to the Juan de Fuca trail. Perhaps the trail is being kept closed by B.C. Parks so that the pesky tourists don鈥檛 interfere with the logging activity.
Why are Director Mike Hicks and the MLA, John Horgan, not speaking out against the logging of these magnificent trees and doing something to stop it?
I鈥檝e hiked this part of the trail many times and it is a mess. Spoiling the beauty of the surrounding landscape for decades has far more effect on tourism than delaying the opening of the trail for safety reasons.
It seems that our economic and environmental priorities are completely backward.
