Ecoforestry Meeting on July 12 in Egmont

The Friends of Egmont are inviting all Sunshine Coast Residents from Port Mellon to Egmont to attend a Public Meeting on Ecoforestry. We are fortunate to have two guest speakers from Vancouver Island:

Jay Rostogi
Site Manager for Wildwood
Land Conservancy of BC

Barry Gates
Malahat Ecoforestry Products

Wildwood on Vancouver Island is the oldest ecoforest on the west coast of North America. Founded by Merve Wilkinson in 1938 and now owned by the Land Conservancy of BC, Wildwood continues Merve's practices of true selective logging ensuring forest survival for future generations.

Barry Gates is manager of 400 hectare private forest at Shawnigan Lake. Both Barry and Jay are members of the Ecoforestry Institute and will share their experiences and views on alternatives to clear-cut logging. The Public Meeting will take place at:

7:00 pm
Thursday, July 12, 2007
Egmont Community Hall

Hi, "Merganser" -- have you contacted Coast Cable to ask about taping the July 12 meeting for distribution on cablevision? I know of many interested parties who are not able to attend, and it is a matter of great interest to most of the coast, so should fit their mandate. Thanks.
