I live in Calgary...Thank you for being an advocate! I live in Calgary where there are very few big trees. Surprisingly, there is a stand of Douglas firs along the Bow River that has been protected by the legacy of George Wood, who started an orphanage and his land is now a sanctuary for some 500 year old fir trees. I love them all! Fairy Creek inspired me to take action and phone / email John Horgan and Katrine Conroy on a regular basis. I donate to the Ancient Forest Alliance and the Rain Forest Trust. I'm now running a daily campaign on social media providing reasons why we should protect old growth forests. You can check out @rio.sky.davinci on Instagram or @winexus on Twitter. I also email Horgan and Conroy every day. I really like your blog and I may borrow some of your quotes for my campaign (with a credit and link provided). Keep up the great work and hopefully more people will be drawn into action. Losing these forests is a tragedy and companies like Teal Jones shouldn't be supported in their on-going efforts to wipe them out.
