Mount Yeatman (north side) Grove

Woodlot 2031 (Okisollo Resources) has mapped an area on the north side of Mount Yeatman where harvest is to be “avoided.” Presumably this is an area of primary forest but it has not been surveyed on the ground by the project as of mid-2021. The area is the bright green object in the southeast corner of the woodlot map below, which borders on Main Lake Provincial Park. Satellite imagery (see below) shows the area to be steep and unlikely to be a significant area of productive primary forest. Other areas of Woodlot 2031 have significant areas of productive primary forest. None of these have been “reserved” by the woodlot tenure holder.
