As a business, there are a number of ways to support Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA), one of which is selling AFA merchandise! Thank you to these local businesses who sell everything from AFA cards and stickers, to totes and shirts!
On the three-year anniversary of the BC government’s acceptance of the Old-Growth Strategic Review Panel’s 14 recommendations to ensure a “paradigm shift” in the conservation and management of old-growth forests in the province, AFA and EEA are urging the BC government to hurry up and close the gaps in old-growth protection.
Building a broad-based movement to protect old-growth forests by engaging non-traditional allies, such as businesses, unions, outdoor recreation groups, chambers of commerce, tourism associations, faith groups, and more, is the hallmark of our work at Ancient Forest Alliance. Of these diverse non-traditional allies, there are a number who’ve recently shown their support with generous gifts to AFA, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank them!
Giving the illusion of a rock wall, a massive western red cedar tree in Ahousaht territory near Tofino in Clayoquot Sound has been named one of Canada’s most impressive trees by conservationists on Vancouver Island.
Nearly two decades into his hunt for B.C.’s biggest trees, it takes a lot to blow away Ancient Forest Alliance campaigner and National Geographic explorer TJ Watt. A tree on Flores Island has done just that.
TJ Watt says Western red cedar near Tofino is a 46-metre-tall leviathan of a biodiverse ecosystem.
Check out this video on CTV News covering what we believe to be the most impressive tree in Canada.
