More than 80 people gathered at Echo Centre Monday for a meeting hosted by the Watershed-Forest Alliance in its quest to protect an old-growth forest at McLaughlin Ridge and in the China Creek Watershed. Alberni-Pacific Rim MLA Scott Fraser and retired government scientist Doug Janz were guest speakers at the event. The pair were resolute: that the forest range needs to be protected with enhanced regulations.

Echo Lake is a spectacular, extremely rare lowland ancient rainforest a hundred kilometres east of Vancouver - in a region where virtually all of the valley bottom old-growth forests are gone. It may be the world’s largest night-roosting site for bald eagles, as thousands come each fall to eat spawning salmon in the Harrison and Chehalis Rivers in the Sts'ailes First Nations’ territory. Echo Lake’s lowland ancient forests – as rare as Sasquatch these days - are lacking legislated protection.
This Friday night folks in Victoria are generously hosting a fundraiser for the AFA at the Cenote Lounge (768 Yates Street) with awesome live music, DJ's and food! Doors open at 7:30pm & tickets $10 at the door. The show goes until close at 2am. We'd love to see you there!
