For those of you who live in the Nanaimo area and have been following this story, the owners of a large piece of Mt. Benson have recently reopened negotiations with the Nanaimo Area Land Trust, who are attempting to buy the property. Kudos to Judith Pennyfeather and Peter Reeve for being willing to start talks again and a big thanks to NALT for all their efforts to saving the mountain from logging and development. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that an agreement can be reached!
