Re: road deactivations for sensitive habitat
I agree that the road should be ripped out as soon as the tree planters are done.
can't, the forest companies are responsible for the block until it is deemed "free growing"....usually around 7 years as I understand it. The forestry departments need access at least until that point to do their work.
Around here (quesnel) the only deactivations are the actual roads in the individual block, very rarely do you ever see an actual spur road deactivated as its more than likely they are going back into the area in future to log more and they don't want to rebuild the road. Certainly not the greatest situation for the critters, but we live in a province thats pretty dependant on resource industries....is what it is.
