Knight Inlet has seen large scale industrial logging since the 1960s. Interfor currently manages the Klinaklini River basin, with Wahkash Contracting as the active logging operator. I was in the Knight Inlet operation in late July 2011, taking photographs and talking to people working in the woods. I recorded this short interview with Interfor forestry engineer Kirby Jacques after looking at some of the wood that's being taken out of the watershed. Most of what is being cut is not the kind of wood I consider to be of high value. As I say in the video, it's "ugly." Yet, as Kirby relates, it's this ugly second growth that is fuelling the current upturn in the coastal forest industry. The Chinese market for "ugly" logs that are not wanted in BC are providing jobs for BC loggers; it's also providing a "solution" to what many considered the unanticipated consequence of forest industry practices of the 20th century, what one long-timer has called the "coastal Hemlock slums."
