Wilderness Committee

The Wilderness Committee set up a protest camp at the West Gate of Manning Park. There we did media interviews using our satalite phone, we hung banners and signs and we collected names on a petition. After three weeks the BC government and International Forest Products announced they would no longer be building a logging road to access spotted owl habitat. As of 2009 the road was never built and the habitat never logged.
