- The B.C. government is deferring the harvesting of old-growth trees in Fairy Creek and the Central Walbran Valley for two years.
It comes following a request from the Huu-ay-aht, Ditidaht and Pacheedaht First Nations to defer old-growth logging for two years in the areas of Vancouver Island while the nations prepare formal forestry plans.
This includes protecting about 2,000 hectacres of forest from logging.
“We are doing things differently in British Columbia. This is not your grandparents’ forestry industry. It is your grandchildren’s forestry industry if we do this properly,” Horgan said.
Protests have been ongoing at Fairy Creek near Port Renfrew over the harvesting of old-growth forests. The province has stated it is looking to the First Nations for guidance on how to create forestry and old-growth policy.

We have already cut down more than 90% of old growth forest and the big old growth trees. The small areas of remaining untouched forest should remain untouched for future generations of the world not just BC residents because we do not _need_ to log old growth to survive and nobody will starve to death if we don't because we are a wealthy first world country with plenty of 2nd or 3rd growth trees to log. If we haven't figured out how to log sustainability in areas already cleared of old growth then something is seriously wrong with management of the entire industry. Forests with ecosystems and trees that take hundreds of years to mature are not a renewable resource because once they are gone they will never be replaced.
Agreed
This. This. This.
Selective is the only way. Creates more jobs too.
All Canadians should be taking a vote on this; cut down the remaining 10% for the wealthy few to stay wealthy or put a full stop on the cutting so the forest can take a few hundred if not thousand years to recover so every Canadian MAY get the chance to see and enjoy it. We all should have a say, especially indigenous peoples.
I don’t think we should cut it because we are already having heat waves in British Columbia and putting more oxygen into the atmosphere can help with that
We shouldn’t think old growth as 💵, we should be thinking it as our protector
This deferral isn't enough and doesn't cover it all!
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
This didn't age well
All old growth needs to be sav
I just dont understand this, you can easily go for a drive and see hundreds of hectares of bare land. You can see logging equipment on VI and I dont get why jobs are a factor to consider with logging deferrals. Get a new job, the trees matter, people dont to be honest..
It appears British Columbia is in breach of the 1875 Lord Dufferin's Order in Council, which disallowed British Columbia's 1874 Lands Act for disregarding in-majority tribal people still living here. In addition the alleged British Columbia Bill 1036 passed in 1929 also appear in breach of the aforementioned 1875 Order by the Lord Dufferin. unless John Horgan d.b.a, Premeir of the Province of British Columbia. Thus Crown First Nations lack authority of tribal-soil whom are still protected by the Royal Proclamation of 1763. No such Inheritance exists that in-majority tribal-people gave the Province Of British Columbia a Bill of Sale nor a Treaty of Annexation. Thus only non incorporated tribal-people have the legal and lawful authority of our tribal-soil, which Cabadian Crown First Nations who gave up their tribal-rights by Incorporating and giving up the protection bestowed by the imperial orders.. All Canadian and it's Provinces are repugnant to the imperial laws that protect the in-majority tribal people. All rights reserved with prejudice by the authority of the maxkw-wun.: wilp's-daaxan-tribal-people in majority.
wow had no idea. Glad you wrote that. Thank you.
Treaties aren't honored. Unceded territories are not recognized and self-determination has also not been respected. The federal gov't is afraid of ending-up at the Supreme Court too because they have been losing cases there so, they constantly try to ignore these issues.
Not entirely clear on your point, but if it's in favour of protecting old growth forests I like it.
John Horgan, please: Don't say "My Government". Just don't.
Well let’s get rid of him to. Still not for our rights. Shame on him. Time for bc to protest
End ALL logging of old primary growth forest. The forest industry has had plenty of time to develop a sustainable second growth plan but failed to do so because of private greed. Now the RCMP funnel tax dollars as private security for these same industries.
sorry for the typos, please be aware that Her Majesty's Subjects have no say over any land or renewable and non renewable resources unless John Horgan can provide the alleged road map that are repugnant to the imperial orders that identify that all Canadian and Provincial Laches of Law are repugnant to the imperial orders aforementioned page 177 of BNA Comparrison between Canada and USA. All rights reserved with prejudice.; maxkw-wun.
John Horgan my friend.. too little too late partner
Stop cutting old growths
Hmm, wonder if Horgan plays the stock market?
Lol right? What’s the price of lumber rn?
This is excellent news. First good news on the environmental front in quite some time. One can only hope the deferral becomes an outright ban, loss of income to the forestry industry be damned. Way to go Horgy!
Hi sir

He is a coloniser and so are his ancestors ?
Hypocrite
Looks like a coloniser ?
