FOCS report: Overview of Logging in Clayoquot Sound 2000–2009
Using mostly original research and 15 years of our ForestWatch files, FOCS has written
a comprehensive report, with 8 photos and 10 maps, on the recent history of
logging in Clayoquot Sound.
The 37-page report provides a one-stop synopsis of logging in Clayoquot, written in accessible language and including background prior to 2000. Topics covered include:
- how much forest exists in Clayoquot Sound
- which logging companies operate here
- how much wood they
cut
- what their logging is like
- and more
The report has inserts updating it
to April 2010. We thank the
Clayoquot Biosphere Trust for partially funding this project.
The report can be downloaded, along
with associated maps, at the links below:
