Squamish Access Society

The following information was emailed to SAS members on March 30, 2007.

During this past week, in the matter of only a day or two, the private land comprising the majority of the top of the malamute was clear-cut.

The SAS is collecting as much information as possible and will provide an update once the facts are reasonably known. We intend to combine forces with fellow access groups and are in communication with the municipality and interested private and corporate parties. Many of you will want to know how you can help - stay tuned for details on where to direct your efforts. In the meantime, please send us your opinions, comments, and photos by email (info AT squamishaccess DOT ca)

We are able to provide the following preliminary information:

- the large scale clearing does not comprise part of the Sea to Sky Highway Improvement Project;
- notice was not given to all groups and organizations who historically and up to the immediate past have expressed a public interest in the land;
- the actions do not, upon initial investigation, carry the endorsement of the Municipality of Squamish.
