These photos were captured in August 2020 from the Granite (Renfrew) Creek watershed, just over the ridge to the east of Fairy Creek near Port Renfrew in Pacheedaht territory. Unfortunately, this spectacular ancient forest was later logged in 2021. A complex, irreplaceable ecosystem that took centuries to develop was erased in a few short months. The continued liquidation of endangered old-growth forests in Canada directly undermines the country’s international commitments to preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change.
