While the Stein Valley 1 drew all kinds of attention .. . More than half the people polled at a model of the Stein Valley dis- played during UBC's Open House optedto retain the area as wilderness, ., said John Worrall, Forest Sciences professor and coordinator ofthe project. Of the 1,O00 visitors who cast their votein the informal public survey by the Forestry faculty,58 per cent voted to leave the area undeveloped. Twenty two per cent of respondents chose one of three plans toin log the Stein;11 per cent voted to give the valley to Native people;6 perand i cent called for a developed park area with roads and trails. The remaining three per cent elected other plans from the 10 land management options presented. Forestry students had spent hundreds of hours painstakingly con- structing the relief model of the watershed for Open House. Visitors picked the plan of their choice by droppinga coin in the appropriatebox.
