AWA News Release: Alberta Conservation Groups Ask Government for Reduction in Size of West Fraser Logging Area

April 28, 2008

The Hinton Wood Products (HWP) forest management agreement in west central Alberta ends June 14, 2008. Conservation groups are asking Ted Morton Minister of Sustainable Resource Development that upon renewal the HWP Forest Management Area be reduced in size by at least 20%.

More logging appeared imminent because vandalized landscapes, just like homes with broken windows, tend to invite more abuse.” Andrew Nikiforuk. This tells it all, whether oil and gas, logging, OHVs etc. already exist, then it seems governments are gung ho to keep going and open it all up to more activity and abuse. . . and why we need AWA more than ever.
