Episode #62 Buggered!
Nearly five years after a wildfire, Craig heads back into a burned block to see what's left worth logging β€” and what they find isn't good. Fir beetle and wood borer damage has ripped through the standing timber, turning what should have been valuable peeler logs into straight pulp.
The real frustration isn't the bugs β€” it's the bureaucracy. Craig lays out how the delay between the fire and getting salvage logging approved gave the beetles years to move in and finish the job. By the time crews got back on site, the damage was already done.
This one's a hard look at what "we'll get to it eventually" costs BC's forests β€” in dollars, in usable timber, and in time nobody's getting back.
