With an excellent discussion about the old growth in Fairy Creek Watershed after church on Sunday, the group  decided to create an information page to help people wanting more information on the issues. The list is only a part of what is available, and is not in any priority order.  Let us know if you find a good source that can be on our list.  

Old growth ecosystems, First Nations role in their territories, economic opportunity in rural areas are all very active issues - new information will come daily:
