Postcards to Save Ancient Trees at Fairy Creek

This month saw the NDP backtrack on their promise to protect old growth from logging. The Box Car Six art collective coordinated a campaign to encourage John Horgan to do the right thing by sending him hand decorated postcards. Lets be clear, I am not against logging, provided it is done responsibly and sustainably. To log trees that are over 800 years old seems short sighted in the extreme. If Victoria had a building that was that old you bet it would be slapped with a heritage preservation order. Vancouver Island’s old growth is just as much a part of the Island’s heritage as its historic buildings. It’s time to stop looking at these trees as a resource and give them the protection they deserve to preserve them for future generations. If you agree contact John Horgan and let him know what needs to happen before we become the generation that saw more value in these trees dead than alive.
