Kevin Van Tighem writes in response to this editorial:

"A quick email to bev.yee@gov.ab.ca supporting more protection measures in the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan would be a great way to help bring in a new year...and a new era of respect for our headwaters.

Let's replace clearcutting with canopy-retention logging, institute a zero-harvest trapping quota on beavers whose work creates water-storing and flood-slowing wetlands, permit off-road vehicles only on properly maintained trails, and set aside the Castle drainage and other key water-producing areas in the mountains and foothills as wildland parks."
