ianmferg Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Jim, how exactly does this threaten access to Mt. Erie? Does it cut off an approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 It certainly could close the access from Heart Lake Road, perhaps even jeopardize climbing entirely - the owners want to clear the timber and then develop the land for single-family houses. I'm emailing the WCC and AF. This is potentially a Bad Thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwakaranai Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Jerry at the Mount Erie Store is handing out some paperwork describing the purposed area and the deadline for us to send in our letters of petition. The window is pretty short so if you are among the concerned, please get your letters in immediately. Points to bring up might be... Erosion, wildlife, deforestation's effect on slope stability, the fact that the majority of the area is zoned as a rural reserve and the planned sub division blatantly defies this, and the adverse affect on the natural beauty of Mount Erie/ Lake Campbell area.
