Working to preserve Fairy Creek, an unlogged Old Growth forest and other Old Growth trees on South Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Old Growth (trees that are at least 200 years with some as old as 4,000 years) are the nest and habitat to many endangered species. Some species, like the Marbled Murrelets (MaMu), a protected migratory seabird, donʻt build a nest but rely on the trees for their nests. With the ongoing removal/felling of Old Growth the MaMu and others face an increasing risk for extinction with the removal of their nesting habitat.
Friends of Fairy Creek have filed an action with the Supreme Court of British Columbia to bring an end to the unlawful destruction of these irreplaceable nests. Links to our recently filed Court Petition and supporting Affidavits:
