Denman Green Site Design to Preserve Old Growth Trees and Habitat

environment · April 2019 · Denman Green site

The Denman Green site includes old growth and second growth Douglas-fir forest; plans include thinning to encourage habitat diversity, protecting areas not needed for construction, and replanting with native species.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

Recommendations include thinning to encourage habitat diversity and the protection of areas not required for the housing site... areas will be replanted with low-growing native species.” — The Islands Grapevine – April 18th, 2019 (April 18th, 2019)
