BC Timber Sales transfers Quartz Creek timber rights to ATCO

As of the spring of 2021, BC Timber Sales has transferred the timber rights surrounding the Quartz Creek Watershed to ATCO, a private company based out of Fruitvale BC.

We are not sure at this time how this transfer will impact the future of the town of Ymir’s only viable source of water.

YCWS has been in communication with ATCO and they are aware of our concerns regarding the protection of the Quartz Creek Watershed.

Ymir Community Watershed Society continues to monitor water flow and collect data in partnership with other community agencies.
