Wilderness Commitee says up to 17,000 hectares of the park could be logged over the next decade
“I thought we’d find at least one or two more in the 400-year range, but I didn’t expect to find six.”
“There are a number of large, roadless areas in Algonquin Park that are unprotected; some are at imminent risk of being logged,” he said, saying the current rules “are no longer viable.” Henry said if the protected area of the park could be expanded from 35 to 40 per cent, that would be a start.In 2019, the provincial government said thein Algonquin from Henry and his team would be taken into account in the park’s updated management plan.
“There are also many areas within the park where forest harvesting is not permitted. Approximately 1.7 per cent of the entire park can be sustainably harvested each year. Given recent harvesting rates, the actual harvest levels have been less than one per cent of the park.”
