A bit transitional. But upper elevation ICH with pockets more dominated by spruce/subalpine fir. They left some of the large cedar but a forest they shouldn't have been in in the first place. Less than 10 percent old remaining in this BEC unit

45,000,000 cm3 of logging equates to about 1.3 million logging truck loads.

This is an ⬆️harvest goal at a time when we are in the guts and feathers. Companies across the province logged less than 40,000,000 cm3 annually over the last two years (less than 30 million in 2023, around 38 mill in 2022)
