The BC Forest Practices Board has upheld a complaint from the Southern Interior Land Trust (SILT) that non-compliance by two Crown-land ranchers and a lack of government enforcement resulted in trespass cattle damaging habitats on land purchased for wildlife by SILT. “Trespass livestock grazing and unauthorized entry became an issue immediately after SILT acquired the property” said SILT’s President Judie Steeves, “we tried to find a cooperative solution but neither rancher was interested, and the ministry seemed fully onboard with what the ranchers were doing.”
