Local residents recently joined CANFOR professional foresters and biologists on a field trip along Horsethief Creek to learn more about current forest harvesting practices and the company’s development plans in the region.

Members of the Public Advisory Group for the Invermere Timber Supply Area, Wildsight and other interested individuals looked at recently logged areas, as well as examples of older cut-blocks that had retained wildlife tree patches or other tree cover to help maintain wildlife habitat.

John Bergenske, CEO of Wildsight, Juri Peepre, a Wildsight director, and Paul Frasca, RPF, go over a cut block map with Ken Streloff, RFT on a Forestry Field Trip with Canfor, to Horsethief drainage.
