An event called Rebellion for Forests that will address old growth forests and biodiversity will be held Friday afternoon at 12:30 next to the Wood Innovation & Design Centre .
Speakers at the Conservation North event will include local UNBC scientists Art Fredeen and Pam Wright, as well as Lheidli T'enneh singer/songwriter and activist Kym Gouchie.
“We are holding this Covid-aware event to bring attention to the absence of leadership from Premier John Horgan on old growth forests and biodiversity,” Jenn Matthews of Conservation North said. “We’ve had two independent reports describing the dire state of primary forests and the impending biodiversity collapse. Yet we’ve seen no action from John Horgan or Katrine Conroy’s office, and this is unacceptable.”
