Forum on Juan de Fuca Lands – Thursday, May 3rd
Come to the forum on the fate of the forest lands within the Juan de Fuca region and Capital Regional District, "Our Forests, Our Future". The AFA's Ken Wu speaks about the need for a provincial park acquisition fund (similar to those of many regional districts) to buy private lands for protection on a much larger scale. May 3: 7-9 pm, Ambriosia Center, 638 Fisgard St., Victoria - with David Anderson, Ben Parfit, and Ken Wu https://www.sierraclub.bc.ca/events/our-forests-our-future-victoria

Let’s name it ‘Protected’
There’s nothing like labelling something with a name to give you that sense of ownership, but the Ancient Forest Alliance has played a clever card this week by naming one of the most at-risk, unprotected old-growth tree groves on the Island after B.C.’s premier.
Ancient grove named for premier
The group hopes the new name will motivate Premier Clark to protect the grove and develop a plan to protect endangered old-growth forests across BC instead of supporting their continued destruction.
