Three First Nations seek to protect treaty forest land and may take a logging company and the province to court. The Pine Creek, Wuskwi Sipihk, and Sapotaweyak Cree nations allege that the logging company Louisiana-Pacific did not have an approved forest management plan in place during their activity on Treaty 4 territory. These actions could violate the Manitoba Forest Act if the allegations prove correct. Chief Derek Nepinak of Pine Creek noted in a press release that “In 2012 Manitoba agreed to consider other logging practices to protect moose habitat, More than 12 years later Manitoba is still without a viable plan”.
