The picture above was used in this blog's banner. It was taken around 2001 from the mountains on the other side of Skookumchuck Narrows when TimberWest owned the lands there. You can just make out the village in front and behind lies Waugh Lake and its watershed. It really is quite dramatic and having to reduce the picture for this blog does not due it justice.Below is the same picture without the cropping. The logging road and debris piles are a nice touch, don't you think?
Here is another shot taken that same day. This one above Killam Bay and shows Captain Island out there in all its glory. And there is your clear cut, folks. It ain't a pretty way of doing things but, boy, is it efficient. Of course, if you use "faller-bunchers" you really make your shareholders happy because then you don't have to hire human beings to do the falling.

Hi Anita,
Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop about what's happening in the village. I've sent a letter on as requested. Many blessings on all your endeavours...

Anne, how wonderful to hear from you and thank you for your support! I ran into Rory the other night in the village and thought of you and how proud you must be. We will keep in touch and do pass the link on to everyone who you think would be happy to support us.
take good care,
Anita
