You are invited to come learn about the old forests in your own backyard, and uncover how we can help protect these old growth giants for future generations.
With old growth forests disappearing at alarming rates, Wildsight, a nonprofit conservation and environmental education organization based in the region, is engaging people in the Fernie area this June learn about our ancient forests. Eddie Petryshen (Wildsight’s Conservation Specialist) will take you on a journey through these majestic places, while discussing related history, threats, opportunities, and the current state of old growth in BC. Together, we will explore how policy reform can change our forestry practices for the better, and equip you with the knowledge to push for these changes from your elected officials.
