This is a short 1995 TV news story about the BC government appointed science panel's recomendation to end clearcut logging in Clayoquot Sound.
The BC government did follow this recomendation, restricting the size of forest openings that could be cut down in Clayoquot Sound, which is an improvment. The Wilderness Committee called for a ban on clearcutting throughout BC. Today however,clearcutting continues in most BC forests, with the exception of Clayoquot Sound - and talks are ongoing over ending clearcut logging in the Great Bear Rainforest on BC's mid coast. Environmentalists today are still defending the intact valleys of Clayoquot Sound from any type of logging what-so-ever.
Three things make the Wilderness Committee the ideal environmental volunteer experience for me: first, the Committee has an uncompromising commitment to the environment and wildlife; secondly, its staff is forthright, friendly, passionate, politically savvy, committed, funny, and great to work with; and lastly, the Committee provides constructive opportunities to get directly involved in a wide range of activities, campaigns, and issues for the benefit of the environment and wildlife.
