Designate 'Forestry Land Base' as a Valued Component and request a quantitative assessment of the impact of the 17,600 ha withdrawal on the Wabigoon and Dryden Forest Management Units.
Strategic Rationale
"The text confirms the project is located within active Forest Management Units and involves a significant withdrawal of Crown land. This removal of land from the inventory directly affects the local environment and economic potential of the area surrounding Melgund. By designating this as a Valued Component, the community ensures that the loss of access to these lands for traditional, recreational, or economic purposes is rigorously assessed and not merely treated as an administrative transfer."
