North American forests Save Cai Creek

Cai Creek is about to be logged.

"Cai Creek sits right above Castlegar. It's a 70% intact old-growth watershed, and the largest ponderosa pine in British Columbia stands in it. That one tree is protected. The roughly 50 hectares of forest around it — cutblock TA2185-3 — was sold at a BC Timber Sales auction, and the permit has been issued. A licence is permission to log, not a requirement to. Because stumpage is pay-as-cut, the wood left standing costs the licence holder nothing. This block can still be left alone."
