I just received a public email from BC Timber Sales. You may have seen it already, but I thought I should share, just in case. I'm incredibly excited about this wonderful outcome for Bowen and want to thank everyone that signed petitions, wrote emails and otherwise made their voices heard. Well done, Bowen! Greetings: BC Timber Sales (BCTS)–Chinook is cancelling the open house scheduled for July 30, 2017 on Bowen Island. BCTS-Chinook has decided to remove Bowen Island (Salish Forest Development Unit) from its current Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) proposal, since there are no immediate or mid-term harvest plans for the island, and Bowen Island residents have expressed a desire to develop a community engagement strategy that will exceed the timeframe required for approval of the FSP Best Regards, Enrique Sánchez, R.P.F Planning Forester British Columbia Timber Sales Chinook Business Area Chilliwack B.C.
