COAST REPORTER: ELF vindicated as province recognizes Dakota Bowl culturally modified trees
Forest protection group Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) has been vindicated after an almost 10-year struggle to see yellow cedars in Dakota Bowl recognized as culturally modified trees (CMTs).
BC Timber Sales (BCTS) reversed its position after the BC Archaeology Branch weighed in on the dispute between archeology firms hired by ELF and the province regarding the contested patch of forest in Sḵwxwú7mesh Nation territory on the Sunshine Coast.
