Thanks to Barry Gerding of the Vernon Morning Star for reporting on our campaign.
“A grassroots campaign to preserve what is left of primary mature forests in B.C. is taking shape in the southern Interior.”
Excerpt:
“The campaign has a fundraising target of $218,000, which will be used to cover the expenses associated with meeting with other groups across the province and drawing support to the campaign, initiated by the Boundary Forest Watershed Stewardship Society (BFWS).
Speaking at a Zoom information meeting on Monday co-hosted by the Interior Watershed Task Force and the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, BFWS co-founder Jennifer Houghton sees the ambitious campaign as a 12 to 14-month project to galvanize support and stand up to opposing pressure from the forestry industrial lobby.”
