Expanding the Ancient Forest Movement

When it comes to advocating for ancient forest protection, we know the more diverse voices calling for change, the better. That’s why the Ancient Forest Alliance works to build a broad-based movement of support for old-growth protection by engaging “non-traditional allies” like businesses, unions, outdoor recreation groups, chambers of commerce, tourism associations, faith groups, and more. By building common ground with and amplifying the voices of diverse members of society, together, we can exert maximum pressure on the BC government to enact bold legislative changes to protect ancient forests.

Thank you to the over 100 businesses and organizations that have signed resolutions in support of old-growth forest protection so far!

If you’re a business owner or member of an organization that would like to join this growing movement and take action for old-growth forests, you can view and sign our resolutions below for Business & Tourism, Multi-Faith, or Recreation Groups, or contact [email protected] for more information.
