Protect Echo Lake Ancient Forest

/in

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.

Conservationists are pressing government to preserve some old growth forest near Harrison Hot Springs that is habitat to many eagles. View the news clip on Global News: The eagles have landed – News Hour – Videos | Global BC

Lets make it clear that conservation is good for business!
