We where up in the Mamquam area last week (just east of Squamish). This area 
has been drastically logged with some pretty massive clearcuts. Some areas
have been replanted with varying degrees of success. 

Anyhow we saw a deer at about 2500' on an old logging road in a replanted
area (fairly young, nothing much higher than twenty-thirty feet). On our way
home we just about ran over a cougar on the main hauling road. Quite a lot
of wildlife. I would doubt that it's the same as before it was logged. And
the ecological systems are probably not as diverse.

Wrong thread Chris, that's over in the Transport 2021 thread :-)
