Algonquin Backcountry Recreationalists - Awareness of Logging Processes ... Forum
September 10, 2009 - ABR's Objective 3 is "Convince society at large to protect and improve wilderness-like recreational opportunities ..." In 2008, the ABR promoted the "Recommendations of the Ontario Parks Board - Lightening the Ecological Footprint of Logging". Into 2009, the ABR made submissions to the AP 2010-2020 FMP Planning Team, relating to proposed Primary Road Corridors.
Low turnout at logging-related open-houses and workshops indicate that recreationalists are poorly informed about both planning and management aspects of logging in the park. ABR's Objective 4 is "React against influences which may negatively impact wilderness-like recreational experiences ...". This compells the ABR to provide a concise Description of Logging Processes, so that recreational "park values" are better protected and opportunities to enjoy more "wilderness-like recreational experiences" are improved.
