Logging on Ridgeback, Tom Snow, Special K and Race…
If you’re interested in seeing the logging plan that might clearcut sections of Ridgeback, Tom Snow, Special K and Race of Spades, you just might want to check out the meeting on Tuesday evening at the Bragg Creek Community Centre.
From Bruce Barker at the Greater Bragg Creek Trail Association:
The Bragg Creek FireSmart Public Meeting is going ahead on Sept 25, 2012 from 6:30 pm to 9 pm at the Bragg Creek Community Centre. No details have been provided on the agenda, but the Minister of ESRD, Diana McQueen will be in attendance. It is critical that all trail users including those from Calgary and surrounding area show up and provide your view on the importance of trails. This is especially important in light of the reasons below:
1) At the Sept 8 and 9 community workshop, a west containment line was brought back to the table by ESRD, despite it being removed at the request of the community 2 years ago. These cutblocks include Tom Snow, Ridgeback, Race of Spades, and Special K in the south, and Tom Snow and Moose Loop ski trail in the north.
I have also included the Memo to the Minister that was sent to her after the workshop along with the 5 proposals for FireSmart logging in Bragg Creek. We believe that it will be extremely important to come to this meeting, listen, and comment. Please attend if it is at all possible. It will likely be your last chance to provide your input to the Minister.
