British Columbia’s logging industry has pushed itself to the brink, converting landscapes of critical ecosystems, including wet old growth forest, into tree farms. Now, amidst increased drying and wildfires, the province’s last old growth forests, parks and protected areas are being threatened by industrial interests under the guise of wildfire mitigation.
The Ministry of Forests is currently working to push Bill 14 (Forests Statutes Amendment Act, 2026) into law. Bill 14 would transform BC Timber Sales from an agency that was supposed to reduce logging on old-growth forest, to one that will be instrumental in increasing the rate of logging by 50%, including some of the deferral areas.
Write the Premier and Forest Minister
to say “NO!” to Bill 14!
