Mosaic Forest Management is gathering public feedback through a survey on outdoor recreation on its property, including its use of gates on its private forestry lands. Mosaic manages 550,000 hectares of privately owned land between Victoria, Sooke and Campbell River, or roughly 18 per cent of Vancouver Island’s total land mass. Olivia Lyle, Mosaic’s communications manager, said Mosaic wants the public’s input on topics related to recreation to inform their action and strategies. Key themes and trends from the survey will be compiled into a report that will be shared on their website in the near future. …Mosaic limits access to the land, according to its website, “to ensure the safety of workers and the public, to reduce the risk of wildfires, to protect sensitive plant ecosystems, and to protect wildlife habitat.” …The survey takes about eight minutes to complete and is available on Mosaic’s website until May 23.
