British Columbia is continuing logging operations in remaining old-growth forests on Vancouver Island, prompting renewed protest activity. Multiple outlets report that activists are physically obstructing the process by sleeping in the road to prevent logging crews from carrying out harvesting. The protests focus on old-growth stands that have taken centuries or longer to develop, with some trees described as millennia old. Supporters of the logging cite forest management and access to timber, while protesters argue that old-growth ecosystems are rare and hold significant ecological and climate value. The reporting says the logging can remove very old trees quickly—within minutes per tree—highlighting what protesters describe as the speed of the industrial process compared with the time the forests took to grow. The articles collectively present the situation as a fresh round of direct action aimed at stopping or delaying timber harvesting in areas designated for logging. Authorities and logging operators are expected to weigh enforcement and operational timelines against the demonstrators’ continued presence on the roadway.
