The Walbran Valley - The Road Must Stop Here!


Have you ever taken the time to lie in a forest and listen to what it has to say?

Have you shaken hands with the people who have gone before you and felt a certain awe when standing in the shadow of their integrity?

Have you met the people who worked so hard in the early 90's to protect a tract of Rain forest only to find them kicked in the teeth by the government?

And yet with teeth bleeding and gums raw they stand, united in protecting something so precious I do not have words to explain what I feel.

I have walked these weathered board walks, I have breathed the same heavy, humid air laced with the scent and taste of cedar.  I have lain on these same boardwalks and listened, heard the whispers of the people who fought so hard for this land.  I want this small parcel of land to be standing when I am able to take my first (future) child out to see what "Daddy fought for when he was twelve and what he fought for again when he was in his 30's"  I want future children to stand on the upgraded boardwalks and listen, listen to the whispers of the voices that stood united under the trees.

Please share this post, thus sharing the links below.  We have had the luxury of the Victoria City Council passing a motion to take a stance against logging in this valley no mater what form of logging that is.

The British Columbia Government needs to be aware of the logging practices back east in Ontario and Quebec, sustainable practices that has helped to leave what pittance of old growth forest they have left alone.

Please, write your letter!!

Sign the Petition!

We can't let the momentum die, make sure The Road Stops Here FOREVER.
