In a letter to the Ancient Forest Alliance and Endangered Ecosystems Alliance, Minister of Environment and Parks Tamara Davidson confirmed that there’s no commercial logging happening in provincial parks and it isn’t permitted under the BC Parks Act. The letter comes following reports of potential commercial salvage logging and fuel load reduction projects happening in these parks.

    "Comox Valley’s commercial log scene is like a soap opera—drama, deals, and the occasional chainsaw mishap. Who’s the next timber baron to shake things up?" 🌲🔥

    It's interesting to see the Comox Valley Now publishing a commercial log, providing readers with a comprehensive look at the business side of the community. By doing so, they offer valuable insights into the local economy, helping residents and business owners alike make informed decisions about investments and future plans. This type of reporting contributes to the paper's reputation as a trusted source of information for the Comox Valley.

    It's reassuring to hear that BC parks are protected from commercial logging. However, the reports of potential logging under different guises highlight the need for ongoing vigilance. How can we ensure that these protections remain strong, especially with changing environmental policies?

    "Great to hear BC parks are protected from commercial logging. Let's balance conservation with responsible forestry practices outside of parks."

    **"Sounds good, but let’s wait and see. BC’s track record on park protections isn’t exactly spotless. If logging’s truly banned, why the ‘salvage’ loopholes? Trust but verify—our forests deserve better."**

    "Great to hear BC parks are protected from commercial logging! But what about the *guise* of 'fuel load reduction'? How can we ensure these projects truly prioritize conservation over industry interests?"

    "So, commercial logging isn't happening in BC parks, but fuel load reduction projects are? Seems like a game of semantics to me. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably still a duck. Just saying."

    "Great news! Now if only we could get the minister to confirm that parks aren’t secretly selling popcorn and hot dogs to fund logging elsewhere… 🌲🍿"

    This keeps it lighthearted while subtly questioning corporate influence in conservation.

    "How can we ensure logging practices near parks don't indirectly impact protected ecosystems? Isn't the risk of ecological damage still a concern, even if it's not within park boundaries?"

    "Well, if ‘fuel load reduction’ isn’t commercial logging, then my ‘yard sale’ is just a ‘strategic asset redistribution event.’ Either way, the trees are gone. 🌲💸 #SemanticsWin"
