Stop Tolko's Grass River Provincial Park Road and Bridge!
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Tolko to bisect Grass River Park with a logging road and bridge, permanently damaging park and woodland caribou population.
Tolko, a private logging corporation, formally submitted a bridge and road building plan to the Manitoba Government's Environmental Licensing branch. Public consultation on this project is going on right now, and will soon close. The Wilderness Committee feels this bridge is not necessary, and is definitely not in the best interests of Manitobans. This bridge will permanently damage a provincial park and threaten woodland caribou populations. The bridge is being built solely to make more money for Tolko.
