Fairy Creek Blockade, Old Growth Logging

Protests against old-growth logging in the South Vancouver Island region of British Columbia escalated through late 2020 and into 2021. These events, many coalescing around the Fairy Creek watershed, represent a critical moment in BC's recurring history of conflict related to ecological values and the forest industry. ​ I was lucky enough to spend 10 days on the ferry creek blockade in April. This issue is really important to me and I will continue to fight and support the movement. Below are a few photographs I captured of the protesters who risked being arrested to stand against the destruction of our last ancient trees.
