Forestry Activity

Forestry Update

We have recently received an email from Kelly Cameron of the District of Mission’s Forestry Operation to bring us up to speed on the upcoming logging in the area. She reports: “We are completing the logging at JR1, just 400 m. from the gated logging road at the end of Johnson St. It is ground harvesting, therefore there are no whistles required like you may have heard in 2006. There will be some machine noise that will be able to be heard. We expect it to take approximately 1.5 months, but have tentatively suggested full completion by April in case of unforeseeable circumstances – such as equipment breakdowns or log marketing issues – there will be one to four loads of wood hauled per day, but averaging around two, and some days there won’t be any. Tree planting will ramp up between March and April to reforest this setting.” Their active operations map will be posted shortly at www.mission.ca under Forestry Operations

Community Tree Planting Day

To celebrate their 50th anniversary this year, the District of Mission Forestry Operations will be holding a Community Tree Planting day on Saturday May 10 from 12 noon to 3 pm at the cut block at the end of Johnson Street, and they invite residents to come out and plant a tree, take a guided hike around Pike’s Pond and Doreen’s Trail, have hotdogs and balloons, and a visit from Smokey the Bear!
