Bostwick Timber Access Road

Does this mean that the trees around Bostwick Lake are going
to clear cut? This is prime hunting and fishing grounds, not
to mention a great place to hike into and relax. Do I want to
go ice skating in a clear cut, not to mention crabing in a silted
bay. Where are the plans or did I miss something. I am not against
logging but there are places more suitable than our Rec areas.
Hope I read the article wrong and if so I apologize.
