CBC B.C. Roundup

This week, CBC and Daybreak reported that a 340 kilometre swath of  of B.C. trees are being cut and burned to make way for the Northwest Transmission Line. B.C. Hydro told us contracters may sell some of the wood,but shipping the rest of it to mills or biofuel plants isn't economical, so it's being burned as slash.

This happens as the government's been warning that B.C.'s timber supply is in trouble and jobs could be lost.  Liberal MLA John Rustad chaired B.C.'s Timber Supply Committee. He spoke with Leisha Grebinski about the issue.

Here's a look at some stories that have been airing on other CBC B.C. radio programs that you might like to hear:

• On B.C. Almanac on Tuesday, Mark Forsythe had a conversation about what parents, teachers and students can do to prevent bullying.
• From Radio West, the next big thing in vegetarianism? Hunting.
• Also from Radio West, after Wednesday's earthquake in Fort St John, scientists are trying to find out if there's a link between increased seismic activity and the oil and gas sector.
• From Daybreak Kamloops, a discussion about museums' increased reliance on private funding to stay afloat.
• And from Daybreak South, a love-struck elk had to be relocated after harassing too many cattle.
