Sunshine Coast activists demand public consultation on Wilson Creek logging

About 80 Sunshine Coast residents gathered peacefully

on Dec. 4 outside the office of Sechelt, BC mayor John Henderson to demand public consultation regarding the current logging of nearby Wilson Creek forest. Henderson did not appear. Nine were arrested this week after trying to halt the start of logging on 27 hectares of this forest, known as cutblock EW002. This is one of the last intact, natural forests left in the Wilson Creek watershed. Its largest tree, a Douglas fir, measures 2.31 metres across.
