Crazy Scenes from the Fairy Creek Blockades in B.C.
Over 600 people have been arrested trying to protect old growth tress on Vancouver Island
The dispute over felling B.C.’s ancient old growth forests is what fuelled the start of a blockade to stop private logging company Teal Jones in the Fairy Creek watershed on western Vancouver Island.
It’s been one year since a group of people opposed to the potential harvesting, and there’s been over 600 arrests. The people at the blockade come from all over Canada and from a variety of backgrounds.
