Earth Month Contest: Prints for Forest Protection!

Apr 7 2023/Take Action

Earth Month Contest Alert! ?

To honour Earth Month, we’re hosting a PRINT GIVEAWAY to help protect endangered ancient forests in BC! All you need to do to enter is Send a Message to the BC government calling for funding to help protect old-growth forests using our recently UPDATED take-action tool! Help us reach 15,000 messages by sharing the link with friends and family as well.

*Note, those who have already sent a message to the BC government using our updated tool (since March 30, 2023) will automatically be entered into the draw. If you sent messages prior to that, you can send a NEW one today.

Send a Message to Enter!

Included in the prize is a signed 20”x30” fine art print from Ancient Forest Alliance photographer, TJ Watt, and an “I ? Ancient Forests” tote bag.

The winner will choose their print from a number of picturesque scenes including the Brooks Peninsula, Avatar Grove, Caycuse Valley, Nootka Island, Great Bear Rainforest, Big Lonely Doug, and more. See them here or browse the gallery below.

Speaking up really does make a difference!

Thanks, in part, to the tens of thousands of letters sent in by people like you over the past few years, we’re seeing many of our main campaign requests materialize, such as the BC government’s recent commitment to protect 30% of the province by 2030, which will double the amount of area currently under legislated protection; creating a conservation financing mechanism to help protect old-growth forests through the creation of new Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (this is huge!); prioritizing biodiverse areas for protection and creating a new BC Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Framework; investing in a transition to a lower-volume, higher-value forest industry that focuses on processing smaller diameter trees; and more.

However, we’re not there yet

There are still a few major provincial policy and funding gaps to be filled to make sure the government’s commitments lead to protecting the most endangered old-growth forests while supporting the sustainable economic diversification of First Nations communities, whose unceded lands these are and who have the final say in what gets protected — or not.

So please, add your voice to the thousands of individuals and hundreds of businesses who are also calling on the BC government to fund old-growth protection!

Send a Message to Enter

The contest will close at 11:59pm on Earth Day (April 22, 2023) and is open to residents of Canada. The winner will be announced the following Monday (April 24, 2023). We will contact the winner by email, so be sure to add Ancient Forest Alliance to your contacts, so it doesn’t end up in your junk/spam folder.

To keep track of news, photos, and future contests, be sure to follow Ancient Forest Alliance on Instagram and Facebook, and tag your friends in our giveaway post so they can get involved, too!

For the forests,

The AFA team
