Tolko Closure Has Environmental Impact says Manitoba Wilderness Committee

With the Tolko closure in The Pas, Manitoba�s Wilderness Committee says it may leave more of an impact than we originally thought.

 

Along with the amount of job losses that will be take place with the closure, Grass River Provincial Park may take an environmental hit when Tolko leaves the area.

 

Logging roads have been built in the forests and will be abandoned when Tolko officially leaves which can create environmental damages says Campaign Director Eric Reder.

 

Animals become more vulnerable to predators and hunters with the log roads in place.

The Manitoba Wilderness Committee is hoping to enforce a decommission plan for the log roads will take place when Tolko leaves.
