A rare and endangered Coastal Douglas-fir moist maritime biogeoclimatic zone Crown forest on Vancouver Island is being logged right now. The scientists tell us there is less than 1% mature and old growth CDF forest remaining in the world, and logging it will hasten its extinction. Info at www.nanoosebayforest.com.
Hear and see the logging on youtube (DL33 Logging Elk Home).
Aside from the plant communities which are ranked as "globally critically imperilled" or RED-LISTED, there are numerous creatures which will be displaced, such as the Roosevelt Elk. You can see these magnificent creatures which were filmed last week in the forest on youtube (Elk Nanoose Bay DL33)
TimberWest Forest Corp is buying the wood from this controversial red-listed forest, in spite of their SFI certification re. biodiversity and sustainability. They say conventional logging practices are being followed, ignoring the fact this forest is red-listed and there should be NO LOGGING at all.
Please sign our petition. DL33 should be protected, cherished and preserved for future generations.
Please don't carry TimberWest wood products until they can certify they are not suppliers of "hot" wood from DL33, a rare endangered forest in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia.
