Activists Launch Old-Growth Forest Protection Blockade on Vancouver Island

Aug 19, 2020

In this episode of The Green Flame, we interview Joshua Wright about a new forest protection blockade established last week on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The blockade protects ancient old-growth forest stands, including the 9th largest Alaska Yellow Cedar known to exist and other trees thousands of years old, in the Fairy Creek area near Port Renfrew, on unceded Pacheedaht territory. Support is urgently needed to maintain and expand this blockade. As Joshua explains, this is a critical moment for protecting the last old-growth forests on Vancouver Island. Residents of the region: contact the blockaders, donate, spread the word, and most importantly go to the blockade yourself.
