2003 - Wilderness Committee Campaign Director Joe Foy explains why the environment group has gone to court in an attempt to protect spotted owl habitat in the Anderson Creek Valley. The Wilderness Committee was reprented in court by lawyers from the Sierra Legal Defance Fund. The court challange was unsuccessful, but in 2006 the BC government, under pressure from the federal government  did move to protect the habitat area in Anderson Creek Valley, by designating it a Wildlife Habitat Area and off-limits to logging.
