The Ancient Forest Alliance is most grateful for the major support of ethical companies and foundations in helping our organization continue our work to protect BC's endangered old-growth forests and to ensure a sustainable, second-growth forest industry. We are giving great THANKS to LUSH, MEC, Patagonia, and the Evergreen Foundation for their support!
The Ancient Forest Alliance's petition to protect British Columbia’s endangered old-growth forests and forestry jobs recently crossed the 30,000 signature mark! Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared the petition so far. You're helping send a clear message to BC's politcians that we need to protect our endangered old-growth forests, log second-growth sustainbly, and ban raw log exports. Can you now help us reach 50,000 by sharing this link online? ancientforestalliance.org/ways-to-take-action-for-forests/petition/
THANKS to your support, we've raised over $12,000 in 2014 so far and have now completed the basic, preliminary phase of the boardwalk, including including vital bridges, steps, tree-viewing platforms, and walkways over several sensitive, steep, slippery and wet sections. This is an incredible improvement from before and one that has been enjoyed by thousands of people already from all across the world. If you've yet to visit the grove since the work began, now's a great time to do so! Funding Still Needed for 2015 Upgrades..
Thank you to Victoria's Moksha Yoga yogis, making change one Karma class at a time. Your contributions to the Ancient Forest Alliance's campaigns to protect B.C's endangered old growth forests are greatly appreciated. May every Tree Pose bring us that much closer to our goals.
Recently, just before the Labour Day weekend, the BC government quickly mentioned that they have no immediate plans to introduce any legislation to expand Tree Farm Licences across British Columbia in 2014 or in the spring. This proposal has been a recurring scheme by the BC Liberal government - proposed before the 2013 BC election and then again this year until now - to give exclusive logging rights to major logging companies on vast areas of BC's public forest lands. Each time, a massive public uproar has played an important role in preventing this "forest giveaway scheme" from being implemented! THANK YOU to the many thousands of our supporters who formed the numeric bulk of the opposition speaking up against this proposal (see www.BCForestMovement.com), to the many First Nations who voiced their concerns and especially to the Tsilhqot’in First Nation who recently won the land title case in the Supreme Court, which was a fundamental reason for the BC government backing down. We must stay vigilant in case the relentless BC Liberal government tries again to attempt such a plan in the future.

We, the undersigned organizations, are greatly concerned about the rapid logging by Island Timberlands of McLaughlin Ridge near Port Alberni. We urge both the BC government and Island Timberlands to ensure that this critical area and the remaining old growth forests on Vancouver Island in similar situations are not logged.
