The Malamute: Squamish Access Society Statement

The Squamish Access Society, representing the climbing community, unequivocally condemns the recent illegal logging on the Malamute. Although the land is privately owned, it is well known to hold values of immense public interest to climbers internationally, and to the greater Squamish public. The clearcutting of this particular forest is a disgrace.The District of Squamish press release of April 2, 2007 states that regulatory offences have been committed under Site Alteration Bylaw No. 1886. The Squamish Access Society expects the District to take the appropriate measures.
