environment · July 8, 2025 · 7000 Point Road, Denman Island

A group of Denman Island community members have written to local Island Trust Trustees urging stronger policies and bylaws to protect forests and sensitive ecosystems, citing concerns about clear-cutting and ecological damage at 7000 Point Road. The Islands Trust has responded by notifying the property owner to hire a surveyor to assess development permit areas.

• “Complaints from months ago to the Islands Trust about 7000 Point Road have not garnered a response. Eartha's follow-up call to Warren Dingman, IT Bylaw officer, on Tuesday, July 8, revealed that a Bylaw officer did go to the site... The owner has been notified that they must hire a private surveyor to establish if any work has been done inside development permit areas.” — The Islands Grapevine – July 10th, 2025 (July 10th, 2025)
