The province is extending its deferral of old-growth logging in the Fairy Creek watershed area of Vancouver Island until 2025.
The deferrals first came into effect in June 2021, and were set to expire this year, following more than a year of heated protests and blockades in the region.
The deferrals protect 1,183.8 hectares of old-growth trees located on Crown land in the Fairy Creek watershed. "The province continues to work with First Nations rights and title holders to take unprecedented action to protect old-growth forests," the ministry continued.
