Brittany Triangle and the ?Elegesi
Qiyus Wild Horse Preserve
Friends of the Nemaiah Valley is
working with the Xeni Gwet'in First Nations Governmnet
in Chilcotin to protect the Brittany Triangle and
the larger ?Elegesi Qiyus Wild Horse Preserve. We
believe that the wild horses, their habitat, and indeed
the entire biota and the First Nations culture which
is inextricably bound to it, are deserving of protection
and merit placement on a heritage list. You can check
out the web-site at: www.fonv.ca
Cascade Canyon and the Kettle River
The Cascade Canyon is under threat
by a proposal to build a dam on the Kettle River in
the southern interior of BC. Letters of opposition
are urgently required. <<more>>
Lannan forest
Lannan forest is a 40 acre parcel
of second-growth forest located on the Comox peninsula
on the east coast of Vancouver Island. As Crown land,
it is rather unique in this part of Vancouver Island,
where the E&N railway grant put most land under
the control of a handful of large forestry companies.
As older second-growth it is considered a rare ecosystem
since most private forestlands are managed as short
rotation plantations, old-growth is virtually non
existent, and urban sprawl forms an almost uninterrupted
ribbon from Victoria to Campbell River. <<more>>
Jumbo Valley
Help support Kootenay residents oppose
the creation of a massive, all season resort in the
Jumbo Valley, southwestern BC. The proposal includes
the creation of a village for some 10,000 people along
with the infrastructure (sewage, water, roads, etc.)
required to support it. <<more>>
