To date, 57 Earthroots volunteers have been arrested while blockading Rabbit Lake Road to prevent the logging company from cutting trees.
Logging has begun!
Less than one per cent of Ontario's old-growth forest remains. Temagami has the largest remaining old-growth pine forests in North America. Right now, the Goulard Lumber Company is devastating an irreplaceable part of our natural heritage. Only the presence of a small group of dedicated citizens at Owain Lake is standing in the way of this environmental disaster.
By the Ontario Government's own criteria, this unique ecosystem must be set aside for protection. By law, an environmental assessment should have been undertaken. Instead they have handed our endangered old growth to logging interests.
Earthroots has been mounting actions and blockades on the road to Owain Lake in Temagami since August. Earthroots volunteers have been arrested trying to keep this government accountable and save Temagami from chainsaws by blockading the Rabitt Lake road. It's time for all of us to stand with them!
This action is HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. To help save the Temagami White Pine Old-Growth WE NEED YOUR HELP IMMEDIATELY!An original work by Bryce Duffy that was part of his beautiful
