Since the first days of settlement at what
is now Vancouver, British Columbia, much of the area, including portions of
Stanley Park were clear-cut logged at least 3 times.
I
heard that from Patrick Moore himself (an early member of Greenpeace) at a
meeting I attended in Clearwater many years ago. As I recall from his talk, much of the area was
totally logged off to build the homes, businesses, etc; nothing selective in those
days.
Also,
I feel certain this is not an actual photo, but instead a drawing. I grew up in
the Cariboo and can recall what clear-cuts looked like. There is not on scrap
of brush, broken branches & limbs, drag marks from the tree's being moved,
or even smaller growth of trees that would have been left because they had no
value.
There is nothing in this picture that represents what an actual logging cut like this should look like.

If
this is indeed an actual photograph (which I highly doubt) I'd be interested in
knowing when and where it was taken.
What these enviro people would say is that its is likely a … ‘picture
meant to be an example, not a real, or actual location.’
And yet our province is attacked as
horrible polluters -- and using the worst of mining / logging practices --by
enviro-groups (some not all) that are funded by the war chests (so-called make
the world a better place foundations) of the 3rd and 4th generations of
families of corporate USA ... as well as by
all ages of European society, all whom sport the latest fads in clothing,
electronics, footwear, etc (and all needing the resources of the land).
