    • Nahmint Valley

      Located near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island in Hupacasath and Tseshaht territory, the Nahmint Valley boasts some of Canada’s grandest old-growth forests, supports a variety of wildlife, and is considered a recreational paradise by hikers, campers, and anglers alike. Despite its high conservation, recreation, and scenic value, and despite a Ministry of Forests investigation finding non-compliance by the government’s own logging agency, BC Timber Sales, the Province continues to allow the Nahmint Valley to be destroyed clearcut by clearcut.

    • McKelvie Valley

      The McKelvie Valley is located on northwestern Vancouver Island in Mowachaht/Muchalaht territory and is the last unprotected, intact watershed in the Tahsis region. The valley is home to rare, ancient Douglas-fir stands, provides high quality habitat for the endangered marbled murrelet, ensures clean water for the town of Tahsis, and supports the health and survival of wild salmon. It’s also where Western Forest Products plans to blast a road into the heart of the valley to carry out upwards of 25 clearcuts.

      Edinburgh Mountain Ancient Forest

      The Edinburgh Grove, the most spectacular part of the Edinburgh Mountain Ancient Forest on its southwestern side, has also been nicknamed the ‘Eden Grove’. More than half of the Edinburgh Mountain Ancient Forest is open for logging, while other parts are protected as a ‘core’ Wildlife Habitat Area (the ‘buffer’ zone can still be logged, and has already been logged in several areas) for the endangered Queen Charlotte Goshawk, as an Ungulate Winter Range, and as Old-Growth Management Areas.

      Echo Lake is a spectacular, unprotected, lowland ancient forest near Agassiz, BC, in a region where virtually all of the valley bottom old-growth forests have been logged. The area is home to perhaps the largest concentration of bald eagles on Earth, where thousands of eagles come each fall to eat spawning salmon in the Harrison and Chehalis Rivers and hundreds roost in the old-growth trees at night around Echo Lake.
