But right now we have an opportunity to put a stop to it: an independent panel convened to review how BC manages old growth is accepting comments from the public by January 31st.
A flood of messages from BC voters could push the panel to recommend protecting ancient forests from logging and force the government to put an end to old-growth logging.
But we don’t have much time. Will you send in your message now with our easy action tool? It only takes a minute.
