This evening I have sent emails to several individuals including Harold Waters from Tolko Industries on behalf of 18 co-owners at Alpine Village Resort who own property in Swansea Point. We have asked that all logging of the watershed above Swansea Point be stopped indefinitely.
We are very concerned that Hummingbird Creek banks, especially those in “reach three,” cannot take the strain of extra water.
Swansea Point is on an alluvial plain and is susceptible to debris flows caused by over logging. We suffered extensive damage from the last flood and believe that logging above us will result in more debris flows and cause more damage.
