The Cortes Islanders smiling, singing, and snacking outside the community hall might have been gathered for a spring picnic — if it weren’t for the anti-logging protest signs pitched across the lawn. …anger bubbled up in the crowd when Mosaic Forest Management representatives began to outline draft plans for logging operations on the small B.C. island over the next three years. Since Mosaic announced its plans in January, many of the community’s 1,000 residents have been mobilizing to prevent the return of logging operations. Gary Lawson, Mosaic’s North Island general manager of operations, said following community input last month, the company still plans to log 7.5 hectares, or approximately 5 to 6,000 cubic metres of timber, this year. But the company has made changes — deferring this year’s cut in some blocks where islanders expressed specific concern… Mosaic aims to work on a similar scale to the Cortes Community Forest, said director of sustainability Molly Hudson.
