RE: YOUR FILE: 255-35-2; EAGLE MOUNTAIN
Dear Sir;

The Council of Anmore has become
aware of your plan to log Block A23802 on hagle
Mountain adjacent to the Village of Anmore. We
would like to canvey to you our concerns with respect
to the projected laqging.,

The area intanded for legging consists
of fireat growth yellow cedar some Of which are
in excess of 1000 years old. the area is close
to a growing population in Coquitlam, Port Moody, °
Port Coquitlam all of whom extensively use the
Eagle Mountain for its semi-wilderness recreational
potential. There are only a few areas laft in
the proximity of high density development that
have the unique characteristics of an untouched
forest. There now exist many trails, carefully
prepared by wilderness groups, that give hikers
acceas to this unique area, Building the required
roads for logging access would require the crossing
of Buntzen Creek, a major source of water into
Buntzen Lake which, as you know hag become a significant
awimming and reoreational area for the whole of
the lower mainland. The Proposéd logging would
- be visible from Buntzen Lake and parts of the Belcarra
Regional Park, Furthermore, the recraational potential
of Eagle Mountain has become important For tourists '
whe use the area extensively for hiking, '
