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.
