Officials "One Step Closer" to Acting On Logging Protestors
Officials with SRD say they're one step closer to taking action regarding protestors at Castle Mountain.
Officials with Sustainable Resource Development have yet to move in on protesters who want to stop logging near Pincher Creek. Spokesman Duncan MacDonnell says the protesters have been served with an enforcement order requiring them to comply with earlier legal trespassing notices. He says that takes the department one step closer to being able to move in and take action. The Sierra Club says the protesters aren`t going anywhere. The protesters say taking down trees in the Castle Special Place will hurt tourism, disrupt the watershed and destroy core grizzly bear habitat.
