Ancient Forest Meetings Start Tonight

Thursday, October 8, 2015 @ 3:48 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The provincial government has scheduled a series of meetings starting tonight concerning a plan to preserve the unique ecosystems of the Ancient Forest.

The meetings will take place at the following locations:

* The Lheidli T’enneh band office, 1041 Whenun Rd., Prince George, on
Oct. 8, 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
* The Robson Valley Community Centre, 441 Columbia St., McBride, on
Oct. 13, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.

* The Dome Creek Community Hall, Dome Creek, on Oct. 14, from
4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

George, on Oct. 15, from 5p.m. – 7 p.m.

You can also email your feedback to ancientforest@gov.bc.ca before November 2 at 4:00pm.

This after the Province signed an agreement with the Lheidli T’enneh and the Caledonia Ramblers Hiking Society last summer to ensure the Ancient Forest – called Chun Toh Whud U Jud in the Lheidli dialect- is protected and, in the long-term, designated as an official protected area.

Hopefully it will be called “the ancient forest” instead of the complex Indian name that only a fraction of people understand.

Ancient Forest/Chun Toh Whud U Jud

Problem solved.

yeah,I’m just waiting to see if the name changes to suit the natives ….again.

I am wondering what the provincial government is going to do so they can make some money off of this.

I’m surprised the First Nations even had a name for this place. Is there any indication that they lived, foraged or hunted in the vicinity? I can find no archaeological data on the area. But I’m no gus.
