In 2002 the Wilderness Committee recommended the expansion of the Golden Ears Provincial Park to include Blue Mountain, the spectacular backyard wilderness of Maple Ridge, BC. The committee's recommendation was in response to BC Forest Service's plans to log this area. Read the argument that Blue Mountain's forests have more economic value standing. Golden Ears is a popular boating, hiking, camping and mountain biking destination.
