Take it easy
with beach logs

Look before you cut. That
beached log you are about to
hack up for firewood may be
private property. You could
be breaking the law. You
could also be affecting
someone’s livelihood.

The Ministry of Forests
has received complaints
from log salvors that mer-
chantable logs stranded on
beaches are being cut up for
firewood and other pur-
poses.

Ministry spokesman Hans
Waelti explains that all logs
branded with a timber mark
are the private property of
the mark holder. And in the
Vancouver tog salvage
district — which covers all
the waters between Van-
couver Island and _ the
mainiand from Cape Caution
to Sooke and the US.

CAREFUL what you
cut, beachcombecr!

value may be legally
collected only by official,
permit-holding log salvors.

All other logs on the
beach are fair game for the
firewood-seeking public,
subject only to local con-
straints.

There are about 600
salvors operating in the
waters of the Vancouver log
salvage district. For them,
logs are worth money,
Waelti said.

“If you take your chainsaw
to a good log tying on the
beach, you are probably
shcing a piece out of a
beachcomber's income,” he
said.

Marked logs are easy to
recognize; just check the
ends for the brand number.
Unmarked but merchantable
logs are more difficult for
the general public to
identify. A good rule of
thumb is to leave any
sizeable, fresh-looking logs
alone and stick to the
bleached logs that have
obviously been on the beach
for some ime.

Penalties cxist for the
unauthorized taking of
merchantable logs For
marked logs. charges could
be laid under the Criminal
Code, for unmarked logs.

expect people will play by
the rules if they know what
the rules are ” Waclti said
