Port Renfrew Public Data Audit

This map shows what the public can see from official data before old forest or high-risk forest is approved, sold, or cut. Each layer is real government data. The point is the pattern: where harvest, old forest, roads, streams, fish records, and recreation stack up in the same place, the public should be able to see the records behind those decisions.

This map does not prove harm, illegality, or that logging caused any fish or fire problem. It shows where the public can reasonably ask to see the records.

5-minute walkthrough

1. Read this panel, then look at the map with only the default layers on.
2. Find San Juan River and Gordon River (use the landmarks).
3. Turn on streams and roads. Watch how often roads cross water.
4. Turn on VRI to compare young/regrowth forest with 250+ high-age stands.
5. Click a cutblock for its harvest year and area.

Read overlaps carefully. An overlap is a reason to ask for records. It is not proof of harm. It means the public should be able to see the site plan, riparian prescriptions, crossing and culvert records, fuel records, sale economics, and old-growth rationale before harvest.

Layers

Visual check: confirm layers are not shifted, blank, or misleading around Port Renfrew, San Juan River Rec Site, Pacific Marine Road, Fairy Creek, Gordon River, and Walbran.
