2001 Panorama of logged spotted owl habitat in Siwash Creek

2001 - Siwash Creek has been mostly logged out of oldgrowth forest. Never-the-less, the Wilderness Committee, represented by lawyers from the Sierra Legal Defence Fund had to go to court to defend the small ribbon of oldgrowth forest seen in this photo. Siwash Creek Valley is accessed from the Fraser Canyon highway, between Yale and Boston Bar, BC.Our court injunction was successful in protecting this peice of habitat, where a spotted owl was living.
