Timelapse of Vancouver Island, mid-island clearcuts

Post by Sandy Beach »

Here's an interesting video posted from a weather guy in Pt Alberni showing the <a href="/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvDBPtR6qwE " target="_blank">Timelapse of the Vancouver Island's forests, clear cuts </a>

Chris Alemany wrote ~ "The acceleration in deforestation on private lands since 2000 and especially since 2006 or so, is very clear and makes one wonder. What have we got out of it?"

Clear cutting affects the environment, local weather and most likely the wind too.

Nitinat, Carmanah Valley, Cathedral Grove and the Alberni Valley are all shown in this timelapse.
Life is all about balance, and a dose of healthy wind addiction
