Battle of Fairy Creek: blockade launched to save Vancouver Island old-growth
Independent activists have launched a blockade to stop Teal Jones from road building and logging in the spectacular, intact Fairy Creek watershed in Pacheedaht territory near Port Renfrew.
The group are calling on the NDP government to release the Old Growth Strategic Review panel's recommendations on how BC should best manage old-growth and to enact immediate moratoria for Vancouver Island's remaining ancient forests.
