Walker Creek’s 50,000 hectare ecosystem remains largely untouched. Unique features like rounded mountain tops rather than jagged peaks promote slower snow-melt, stabilizing river levels and gravels resulting in the best salmonid spawning and juvenile habitat in the Upper Fraser Rivershed. Indeed, on June 4^th, the Holy Cross tributary’s snow-melt waters revealed its bottom as if through crystal. These rounded mountains support expansive alpine meadow systems and prime grizzly and caribou habitat. Myself and a small group headed to Walker 22-3, locally the largest of BC Timber Sales many recently proposed cut-blocks.  Leaving the abandoned Holy Cross road, we were stunned by the natural post-wildfire recovery.  …If ecosystem health is indicated by diversity and habitat and this is supposed to be the overarching principle guiding provincial forestry decisions then why is BCTS, a provincial government body, slating this to be logged?
