More logging on Northshore!

The DNR is considering an application to log ~37 acres of LWR watershed land, just above the start-point of the Northshore trail at the terminus of the Northshore Road.

See the map and the proposal, called
"White Chanterelle".

We should be concerned about even more logging within the LW Reservoir watershed.

Who will keep tabs on this activity?

How does this logging plan fit in with the proposed creation of a mega-park within the watershed?

Will this become the parking lot and visitor center?
Protect Lake Whatcom: This website is maintained by a concerned citizen, following from a Citizens' Initiative brought forth in 1999, with the purpose of directing the City to implement Goal #2 of their own 21 Goals for the management and preservation of the Lake. c: 123 Our bottom-line principles are: Protect the water supply in perpetuity -- maintain ecological viability of the lake for natural species -- distribute the financial burden fairly among those benefitting -- take immediate action if prudent -- take definitive action -- avoid actions which cut off future options.
