Love the Castle: Don't log it!

In the current issue of This is Fly magazine, Darcy Toner (Faceless Fly Fishing – Calgary) highlights the threat of logging in the Castle Wilderness of south western Alberta.

For more than 20 years conservationists have been campaigning to increase protection of Alberta's Castle Special Place, in Waterton National Park's backcountry. But parts of the Castle are due to be logged in coming months.

Alan Brice (Alberta Fly Fishing Adventures – Coleman) and Vic Bergman (The Crowsnest Angler Fly Shop & Guide Service – Bellevue) are just two of many local businessmen who are voicing their opposition to logging in this watershed.

They could use your support!
