For late 2023/early 2024, Squamish Community Forest is planning for timber harvest in the Cheekye basin. The Community Forest harvest areas consist of four blocks (MAS208, MAS212, MAS217 and MAS218) ranging in size from 2 hectares to 4 hectares in which a retention harvest system will be applied. MAS211 is the area to be cleared for the access road and construction footprint of the Cheekeye Fan Debris Flow Barrier Project. Although the Debris Barrier Project is located largely within the Community Forest tenure area, it is a separate and independent project from the Community Forest. For more information about the Debris Barrier Project please contact jenni@mwest.ca
All the proposed harvest areas consist of second growth coniferous forest that is approximately 60-80 years old.
Maps and an information summary are linked below.
The Squamish Community Forest invites your comments and questions about the proposed harvest plans for MAS208, MAS212, MAS217 and MAS218 by December 15, 2023. You can reach us at squamishcommunityforest@gmail.com.
