Nootka Island is on the chopping block

Last summer, I visited the Nuchatlaht Nation’s territory on Nootka Island — a beautiful place off the west coast of Vancouver Island, home to sea otters, sea wolves, and some of the most spectacular old-growth forests I have ever seen.

I also saw some of the biggest tree stumps, logging equipment, and slash piles I have ever found in the field. Industrial operations have decimated Nootka: there are now over 1,000km of logging roads criss-crossing the rainforest.

Stand in solidarity with the Nuchatlaht Nation

The Nuchatlaht Nation wants to see change for Nootka Island, and they have groundbreaking plans to protect and restore vital ecosystems. That's why they’re going to court — and they need your voice

SEND A MESSAGE

Nuchatlaht has launched a title case to regain control over their land, but the process is being held up by B.C. lawyers who are arguing the unthinkable: that the Nation “abandoned” their territory on Nootka Island — when it is the government’s own actions that forced them off the land.
