 The Skeena region in northwest British Columbia has been one of the hardest hit areas of logging in recent years. Heads of northern Caribou have been declining after decades of industrial habitat disturbance, and vital salmon runs are increasingly under threat as industrial activity, including the pipeline construction, causes devastating erosion. Forest Eye Alerts show that industry giant, West Fraser, have continued to log candidate oil growth deferrals. Here are the top three alerts with the most hectares lost in Skeena from Forest Eye. West Fraser logged 180 hectares of old growth forest, including 115 hectares of candidate deferrals in March 2023 near Harold Price Creek. Northwest BC Timber Resources logged 152 hectares of candidate oil growth deferrals in March 2022 near Nilquat River. West Fraser logged 99 hectares of candidate oil growth deferrals in April 2022 near Babine Lake. If you'd like to receive Forest Eye Alerts in your inbox, head on over to standoutearth.forrest-eye.
