Protect Echo Lake Ancient Forest

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.

Spend your conservation dollars for Echo Lake and eagles in the local communities

Spend your conservation dollars for echo lake and eagles in the local communites.

The Ancient Forest Alliance is currently campaigning to protect the Echo Lake Ancient Forest between Mission and Agassiz in Sts’ailes First Nation territory. When visiting this region, including the Fraser Valley Eagle Festival on Nov. 17-18th, please show your support for the local communities by spending your dollars in those towns. Lets make it clear that conservation is good for business!
