• Forest Highways
My dad was an engineer in the BC Forest Service from 1958 to 1989, and his job was to design and approve these "highways" and their bridges. After his retirement he contracted with the BCFS to inspect bridges along these roads throughout the southern part of the province.
I can't tell you how many times we drove up logging roads in our station wagon when I was a kid😄 I'm sure this film shows some of his work. It makes me proud!
The forests we have here are just incredible! Thanks for the upload!
You bet!
Beautiful British Columbia. 24 years in Vancouver & BC, and I cherish every time I get out to the proper country in the forests!
I worked 25 years for MacMillan Blodel Eve River Div on Vancouver Island logging
Loved that job
This film is so informative!

In theory yes this works.! ..but in a Capitalists society, the only value of a tree is a felled tree. BC has only 1% left of the Coastal Douglas Fir, Hemlock ecotype left.???????? 2023.
Take a plane and fly out coast, then you will update your uninformed lie.
And while you are at it, torch your house, and replant the lot with trees, wipe your butt with dry leaves, don't use a green leaf, your hurting a tree, play your movie to it's end.
Seems so naïf now to say that these forests were endless
they should use this today and stop strapping all the forests they have wipe out 80% of allk the tree in b.c.
