The Ancient Forest Alliance team wishes to thank Andrea Inness, who will be departing in early February after devoting five years as a Forest Campaigner with the AFA, including three and a half years on the Executive Team.

This past summer, AFA had the privilege of exploring stunning ancient forests along the shores of Vernon Bay in Barkley Sound. Home to the Uchucklesaht and Tseshaht First Nations, TJ Watt and Ian Illuminato measured monumental redcedar trees up to 12 feet in diameter.

A total of 33 logging cutblocks in old-growth forests with ancient trees up to 12 feet (3m) in diameter have been approved for logging by the BC government in Vernon Bay, some overlapping with the newly recommended deferrals. Conservation funding is urgently needed for communities to make deferrals possible.
