Thanks for the great video, Be have so much history, especially here in the Glenwood area. I will be adding documenting some special areas and antique equipment later this year. Although the damage to the habitat was severe, I think the story of our Fathers and grandfathers need to be told and respected.

Detailed and comprehensive! I was born in Corner Brook in '62. While I never logged or worked for Bowater, this still feels like a part of my heritage. Wood that escaped the booms would wash up on the beach, particularly where I grew up in Humbermouth. Some folk would gather up these logs and deliver them to the mill for some spare cash. One aspect that I recognized in my early teens as being less than good for the environment was the way waterlogged wood accumulated on the bottom around the mouth of the Humber. This, and the use of waterways for transport must have had a negative impact on any wildlife dependent on these waters.

There was a lot of destruction in those days. The buldozers buried a lot of good timber when building roads. I logged in Cold Brook area in the 60s and prior to the bulldozing the topsoil for roads, they cut and hauled the right-of-way. My father was a lumberjack from the bucksaw and axe era, along with a lot of other men from the area. Men used to walk 40 miles to board the train heading to work in the woods. They would stop at my grandparents' place in the middle of the night, (the doors were never locked) and sleep on the floor. They would be served breakfast in the morning before heading off again. They would do the same going back home after the work season was ended.

If you have any more videos please add them, especially on the Gander Lake watershed. Thanks

I have flown at low elevation over the entire island of Newfoundland. The clear cutting of our Woodlands shocked me.
