In 2011 the Wilderness Committee sought legal clarification on whether, under the newly enacted park logging ban, a logging road is considered logging, and second, whether a logging road is prohibited in a provincial park where logging is banned.

Given the first court decision provided no clarity on whether or not the park logging ban was in fact legally binding. The Wilderness Committee appealed the decision.

In the appeal decision, Judge Steel ruled that according to the park logging ban, "...it is only commercial timber cutting rights that authorize logging that are restricted..."

"This has been an extremely draining and very disappointing process. We took the government at their word when they said were banning logging in provincial parks, but now we've seen how far their commitment to protecting parks really goes," said Reder.

The Wilderness Committee is asking that the government rectify the situation by enacting legislation that actually bans logging in provincial parks.
