Tall Tree Festival in Port Renfrew

Jul 5 2010/Announcements

The Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA) would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone at Radio Contact Productions, Bigfish Lodge, Wild Coast Cottages, and Sitka Surfboards for organising such a successful event and so generously supporting the AFA. Thanks, as well, to all the volunteers, the event sponsors, the amazing musicians, and everyone who attended in support of the AFA!

Held Fri-Sat June 25-26, the Tall Tree Festival was a huge success. The 2 day music festival featured live music and DJs, with the proceeds going to the AFA. There was an AFA table set up during the festival and hundreds of signatures were collected for the Ancient Forest petition (https://ancientforestalliance.org/ways-to-take-action-for-forests/petition//). Forest campaigner and photographer TJ Watt took to the stage on Saturday to tell the lively, hundreds-strong crowd about the dire need for the protection of BC’s endangered ancient forests.
