what problems ahve you seen brent? please enlighten us oh wise one.. do you even own one or know anyone else do does..

this message was passed onto me today by a fellow friend and flyfisherman.... i figure we need too get some ways too contact our local mp's and anyone else too help prevent this from happening... any other info harps? or anyone else? A Cry for Help Do you like fishing the Oldman River?? Its tributaries the Racehorse and Dutch Creek or the Livingstone???The Crowsnest?? Then I hope you did so this season because by the upcoming season of 2009 there won't be much left of those streams, and no this is NOT a joke...it is a cry for help!! Help from anyone that knows anyone that could possibly do something about the impending destruction these streams are facing...let me assure you this is as REAL AS IT GETS....and to say that there is not much time is an understatement. The Crowsnest pass is faced with a real dilemma and we have been fighting as hard as we could to not much avail...the whole valley to the north is about to be logged...and I am not using the nice word they use to placate us down here called "harvesting" as it does not apply here...we are talking about nothing but CLEARCUTTING...there will be no buffers around the streams no, they will cut right to the riverbank ,there will be no trails left to hike or snowmobile or ride, there will be no "thinning", there will be a clear swath of nothing short of a moonscape throughout the whole area. this November...yes that fast... Clearcutting will begin starting North from the forestry boundary to mile 15 in the Crowsnest valley...throughout the headwaters of Dutch creek and Racehorse creek...the 5 year plan approved will be clearcuting the whole area as they are already logging on the 940 highway south of Kananaskis. This will mean that both valleys feeding the Oldman river and the Crowsnest River and all the tributaries within will cease to exist....you like to hunt in that area? Well you won't need to stalk your game anymore as you will have a clear field of view for miles around. Will the streams silt up..?? yes of course they will...will the water quality get worse...of course...will there be flooding and then a shortage of water...without the retaining effect of the forest and root systems yes of course there will....why on earth cut right to the riverbank you ask....the reason given was they say that the trees would just fall into the creek because the root system would not support them since they are used to being sheltered by the other trees that they would be cutting and the wind would blow them into the creek anyway.... You ask why all of this??? Well we have as well....the lumber prices are down...the market all but at a standstill... The explanation we got was...well if we don't "harvest" it might burn and then what...well we down here rather deal with the remote possibility of a fire than with a moonscape...not so big buisness The other explanation was "we are stopping the pine beetle" by clearcutting large swaths of forest as "buffers". Well first of all it is the job of our province to control that pesky little bugger by identifying the infected trees and taking them out, your tax dollars at and they are doing a good job at it. SRD, Sustainable Resources and Development, is shifting that responsibility to the logging company to save money simple as that...one problem remains though....the Pine beetle has WINGS and when it migrates it does so by FLYING from where it hatched to the next tree. Is that beetle going to stop midair while flying over a clearcut..ahem sorry..."BUFFER" and fall out of the sky because of a broken heart??? NO, not really, it is going to keep flying until it finds a tree it likes....so what was that reason for devastating those valleys again??? No one could answer that,..simply big business i guess...well fishing, guiding and tourism are business as well....and there are rules in place like leaving buffers , or simply not Clearcutting as it is not being done anywhere else anymore however since this was done under the radar none of these rules seem to apply in this case and times is short. What can we do?? You can call someone,..let someone else know about this,...the last hope those valleys have is a public outcry. And that is the last thing the logging company wants ,public scrutiny... Does anyone on this board know someone in the Calgary media?? News TV Print that might do a story about this??? Can we get the guides and fly shops to unite and help by putting the word out?? Does anyone on this board know scientists who have done studies about the region or have colleges that have??? Does anyone on this board have access to Mp's?? Does anyone on this board have access to the native bands around...there are a lot of "holy sites" in the clearcuts.... Lets hope we can do something, otherwise those streams we all love will change drastically and very very soon You can reach me at eckardt@telusplanet.net, 403 563 3900 should you have any ideas or want more info like logging maps etc....you are allowed to have them and can request them to be send to you by SRD as they are..ahem should be... public knowledge. The person responsible for allowing this to go ahead in the local office is John Sullivan from the SRD. There is also a main manager for SRD in Calgary who has given the go ahead...however we cannot track him down...maybe the media can and once he is finally in the spotlight and under the publics scrutiny he will realize that devastating those valleys as he has approved it is not the way to go. Hoping we can get something done
