This is a short TV news story about the arrival of the Wilderness Committee's "Stumpy" in Vancouver on its way to Ottawa. "Stumpy" was used as a "publicity stump" by the Wilderness Committee to draw attention to the fight to save the pristine valleys of Clayoquot Sound from logging. Over a period of several years Stumpy travelled across Canada, into the USA and across much of western Europe. Stumpy is originally from the Clayoquot River Valley.
I came from Spain to volunteer @ the Seton Portage Aboriginal Farm and Trail Project near Lillooet, BC. I spent my days either working on the Indian Reserve Community Farm, or helping re-open ancient First Nation Trails in the Wilderness. I intended to spend only 2 weeks but instead stayed for a month! What a WILD place! Thanks for the opportunity!
