Some people were asking for a better "image" of the cut block in question. This map was sent to Tim by BCTS and clearly shows:

• The cutblock K8VF borders two properties in the upper Hartnell area
• Brookside Creek runs downstreem out of K8VF (though the pink shading of the cut block obscures the creek path within the cut block)

BCTF has let us know that: "We appreciate the perspectives raised by community and encourage them to provide feedback in to the formal public consultation process. Feedback can provided directly to BC Timber Sales at the following site BC Timber Sales - Okanagan-Columbia Forest Stewardship Plan #771.

If you have questions or want to discuss any aspect of the referral package, please call or email one of the BCTS staff listed below before the end of the review/comment period.  Comments about the proposed K8VF cut block must be received by May 31, 2023. Written comments can be submitted via email, fax or mail to:
