Mountain:
Blue Mountain is
valuable to the surrounding communities as well as to the entire lower
mainland. This forest acts as an excellent buffer zone, which
helps maintain a healthy aquatic environment that is essential for the
protection of our valuable water source. This zone provides
critical habitats for a wide variety of wildlife, reduces flooding,
regulates in-stream processes, is responsible for nutrient flow,
oxygenates polluted air and provides recreational opportunities.
Forests of this magnitude serve as the last line of defense from urban
development. Residents living in this area are genuinely concerned
about logging in this area since this ultimately reflects the health of
the watersheds, well water, and the Blue Mountain ecosystem.
