The Regional District of Nanaimo board (RDN) has reneged on a decision to advocate for a ban on raw log exports following feedback from wood manufacturing companies that said such a ban would put them out of business.

@cbcbc_mirror This screams for a complete overhaul of BC Forest Practices. 6yrs ago there was a thorough and comprehensive review which made 14 recommendations for the best way to treat our forests moving forward. Those recommendations were accepted and some deferral of logging in what is left of our precious Old Growth was implemented. Today the logging in these deferred areas are now being logged at an increased rate. This has to stop!
