Message BC Timber Sales and Interfor and tell them to stop logging in Cai Creek

Cai Creek is a beloved old-growth forest located just outside Castlegar, B.C. With 300+ year-old trees and home to the largest ponderosa pine in B.C., named Lieutenant Dan, this forest was mapped for logging in 2020 by B.C. Timber Sales (BCTS). Despite the Technical Advisory Panel identifying this forest as a mostly intact watershed worth protecting, BCTS auctioned it off to logging company Sutco. Logging is scheduled to begin this year by Interfor, a company that will be logging on behalf of Sutco. Call for the protection of Cai Creek by emailing BCTS and Interfor today!
