Years after Teal Cedar spoiled Skidegate Narrows with a glaring clearcut, forestry planners hope to safeguard other scenic areas on Haida Gwaii. A planner is visiting Skidegate, Masset, and Sandspit this weekend to ask people what scenic views are most in need of protecting. “I want people to tell me which views they really value,” says Kristina Patterson, a Whistler-based planner and landscape architect. “We’ll put those on maps and start doing fieldwork — that involves photographing, visiting the sites, looking at the existing visual quality there, and then mapping what is visible.” …Hired in September, Patterson’s company, KSalin Land Planning, is working on an update of Haida Gwaii’s “visual landscape inventory” with B.C.’s forests ministry and the Council of the Haida Nation.
