Instagram post 2200334916301260069_351128482 Kick starting the week with a presentation to the Province’s panel working on reviewing old growth logging policies. 🌲🌲🌲 We talked about what we loose when we log old and ancient forests and alternatives which could bring far greater opportunities for BC and communities. #standupforwhatyoustandon #saveoldgrowthforests
