Every member of a former panel the BC government appointed to identify old-growth for potential protection in 2021 now says they're concerned about continued logging in those same rare and "irreplaceable" forests.

Logging in the Klanawa Valley: “World’s best forestry practices”?
/in Photo GalleryThese recent images from the Klanawa Valley highlight the brutal impacts of clearcut logging on Vancouver Island.
Until recently, this mountain was one of the last largely intact stands of unprotected old-growth in the valley. Now a sprawling 30-hectare cutblock, a web of roads from Western Forest Products scar the hillside here in Tree Farm Licence 44, north of Nitinat Lake in Ditidaht and Huu-ay-aht territory. This is what ‘talk & log’ looks like.
Speak up! Send a message to John Horgan and the NDP, demanding they take action to protect endangered old-growth forests in BC.
Red Bull: Protecting our Elders
/in News CoverageThe Red Bulletin
May 2021
In the May 2021 edition of Red Bull’s magazine, The Red Bulletin, TJ Watt talks about the devastating before and after photos taken in the Caycuse Valley. Capturing the world’s attention at the end of 2020, Caycuse Valley’s old-growth forests were cut down and TJ’s record of their previous grandeur was a bitter pill to swallow. Sharing photos of this caliber, the hope is more old-growth forests will be saved due to this important work.
