Few things in this world are as awe-inspiring as gazing up into the canopy of a magnificent, ancient tree.
Old growth forests are some of the most productive, invaluable ecosystems on the planet, sustaining rare and endangered species that have evolved to depend on them. Yet scientists suggest only three percent of B.C.’s high-productivity old-growth forests remain.
Old growth logging has pushed species such as southern mountain caribou to the brink of extinction — but there is still hope. The B.C. NDP government has shown they are committed to prioritizing ecosystem health over a “profit-only matters” mentality, by implementing the recommendations of the Old Growth Strategic Review — but they need public pressure to do so.
Your gift will help protect our irreplaceable old growth forests in the Kootenay Columbia region and across B.C. It will enable us to continue successfully deferring logging of old-growth ecosystems (like we did with Argonaut Creek in the 2022 Seymour logging plan), and push our government to legislate permanent protections for old growth forests all across B.C.
