“We urge the Province to immediately defer logging in Mt. Elphinstone’s critical aquifer recharge
area and support a collaborative Water Sustainability Plan (WSP) for this area. This action is
essential to safeguarding drinking water for thousands of Sunshine Coast residents, protecting
private wells, and mitigating downstream flood risk. Without intervention, BC Timber Sales
(BCTS) will proceed with its logging plans, which present irreversible harm to this watershed.”
