We would like to extend a huge thank you to Wildcoast Perfumery, Zula Jewelry, Barbara Brown Art, Elastic Email, Seaflora Skincare, and Corvidae Environmental Consulting for generously supporting the old-growth campaign.
Great news — the logging deferral in the Central Walbran valley was extended last year until March 2024 and the deferral at Fairy Creek has now been extended as well until February 2025.
