Habitat and Access Management near Flat Lake Park
Boar Lake is an isolated lake with high fishing values, approximately 30 kilometres southwest of 100 Mile House. In the summer of 2001, a cabin owner on Boar Lake (the complainant) learned that Weldwood of Canada (the licensee) planned to harvest several cutblocks near the lake. He was concerned that planned upgrades of the road into the area would increase fishing pressure and that the cutblocks would reduce wildlife habitat in the area. He discussed his concerns with the licensee and government agencies. He was not satisfied with attempts to address his concerns and filed a complain with the Forest Practices Board in January 2002.
