INDIGENOUS WISDOM OF THE EARTH- SAVING FAIRY CREEK May 12, 2021

This month on the Indigenous Wisdom for the Earth series, please join Terra and Clare Dubios, Founder of TreeSisters, as we speak to Bill Jones, Elder of the Pacheedaht First Nation, and Asha and Paula from the Mama’s Movement group about the old-growth forests in British Columbia (Canada) and the Fairy Creek Blockade.

These forests are currently being cleared by loggers reportedly at a rate of 150,000 hectares a year. With only around 846,000 hectares left, the forests will be completely destroyed in a few short years. The situation is a complex one with many layers including a grand scale old-growth forest study, campaign promises unkept, and a history of colonization that has divided the indigenous people.

“Our seeding project is in the protection of the Ancient Forests of Pacheedaht Nation, Fairy Creek.

The Ancient Forest of Ada’istix, Fairy Creek on Vancouver Island is the Indigenous land of the Pacheedaht First Nations.

We echo
“LEAVE Old Growth UNTOUCHED.”
Not just this AREA –

but ALL Old Growth in BC.”
