Support Mt. Elphinstone's 1500Ha Park Expansion Proposal

Currently the Park is only 3 very small separate ‘island’ parcels protecting 139 ha of lands across the lower mountain slopes, near Roberts Creek, west of Gibsons.  The surrounding Crown lands offer high-value recreation and on-going environmental services in an inter-urban zone.  BC Parks states that the Park is “vulnerable to adjacent logging”.  We are calling on the government to support a much needed expansion to provide viable protection of this vulnerable eco-system and support a growing tourism industry on the Sunshine Coast that appreciates the natural beauty of these forests...

Save the Dakota Ridge Ancient Forests

Similar to the Caren Range that was saved as a Park in the 1990s the Dakota Ridge Forests are not just 250+ years old (the definition of old growth), but these majestic trees are more in the range of 1,000-1,500+ years old (at this altitude the snow pack is in excess of 16 feet, the yearly growth period is short with approx. growth ring diameter measurement to age count of 1cm=10 years).  In fact the newly discovered 'Giant Twin' could surpass the Caren Range 1,835 year old tree and be the longest-living tree on record in Canada. Home of many of the 'Oldest Trees in Canada' these forests are truly living monuments to the past, present and future and therefore should go into a special category of ‘Ancient or Antique Forests’ and be preserved forever...

Protect the Gough Creek Frog WHA

ELF requests a stop to logging in Gough Creek, (a tributary of Roberts Creek, Sunshine Coast) by the Vancouver Island logging company, Island Timberlands (IT). The area slated for logging (Summer 2011) is identified as high-value habitat for the Coastal Tailed Frog due to key characteristics, including cool-moist forest, close proximity of 2 streams, and water flow-regulating, step pools...

Help Protect the TrailFest-Wagon Forest

BC Timber Sales (BCTS) is planning on clear-cutting the TrailFest-Wagon Forest (TSL:A87124).  This forest is important as it is a key northern boundary forest in the proposed Mt. Elphinstone Prov. Park expansion area. The section contains many key mountain bike and historic skid road trails, including the popular Caroline’s Connector. If the logging proceeds it will join up with the massive CNI 160 Ha (400 acre) clear-cut on its northern boundary.  We all must contact the Forest Planner in charge and strongly request no more logging of intact forest lands in the park expansion boundaries. ..
