EMERGENCY RESPONSE Myrtle Hogan shows off just one of the many old growth cedar trees in the new 13 acre Hogan Family Nature Reserve, which her family has donated to the municipality of Matsqui. Currently the government is in the process of developing a management plan for the area, to preserve it as naturally as possible while still allowing for people to enjoy it and learn from it. The plan is expected to be completed early next year and the reserve remains off limits to the public until then. -Monique Gaiazka photo TO BE KEPT "NATURAL" Family donates nature reserve By MONIQUE GALAZKA MATSQUI - The municipality is in the process of setting up a management plan for the new Hogan Family Nature Reserve, located on the Aldergrove-Matsqui border.

There is a tremendous array of trees ancl fungi. Some of the old cotton woods, which she has measured, are over 17 feet in circumference. Hogan says that it is more important to keep the land preserved than to log it. They have been offered a lot of money many times but have always refused. At one time when there were cows in the nearby field, barbed wire was put up to keep them away from tlie forest, and some of it has grown right into the trees. fisSl There was also a saw mill near by and some of the old leftover logs have become*.'nurse-logs.'
