The 2011 Tall Tree Music Festival hosted in Port Renfrew was an amazing time and great success. Proceeds from the festival were generously donated to the Ancient Forest Alliance and local community projects.
The old growth forest that was logged was conveniently located in an unprotected tract of old growth, surrounded by the protected Ungulate Wintering Range and an Old Growth Management Area. The Ungulate Wintering Range was designated by the Ministry of Forests to sustain black-tailed deer populations, while the Old Growth Management Area prohibits logging.
