Join the UVic Ancient Forest Committee and Ken Wu of the Ancient Forest Alliance for a spectacular slideshow on the ecology, wildlife, biggest trees, and politics surrounding BC's old-growth forests including at Echo Lake east of Vancouver, and the Upper Walbran Valley, Avatar Grove, Mossy Maple Grove (Fangorn Forest), and Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island.

In VANCOUVER, this WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY (Dec.19 and 20), come buy the AFA's mechandise or make a donation by meeting the AFA's Hannah Carpendale, who will be located at the vegan cafe and organic grocer Eternal Abundance (1025 Commercial Drive, between Napier and Parker) from 12pm-6:30pm for those two days. THANKS to Eternal Abundance for supporting the AFA with their facilities!

If you’re in Victoria, feel free to come visit the AFA in the Habitat Acquisition Trust / Nature Conservancy building between 12-6 pm, Mon-Sun., until Dec. 23 at 827 Broughton St. (between Blanshard and Quadra). Pick up great holiday gifts such as our new and beautiful 2013 calendars, ancient forest greeting cards, big tree posters, prints, and more!

We’re proud to present the Ancient Forest Alliance’s premier calendar! It highlights some of the special places on British Columbia’s coast that we’ve explored as we work towards securing provincial legislation to save our endangered old-growth forests and forestry jobs. Available today for $20!

The AFA is looking for a volunteer intern for 2 months to work at least 15-30 hours a week to staff our holiday season booth to assist in the sale of calendars, cards, and posters sales in December, and to assist in outreach to our supporters to help protect BC's old-growth forests. Interns will also gain insights about important forest policies and environmental campaigning skills. This position starts ASAP.  To apply, please contact Joan Varley:  joan@15.222.255.145
