Part One
On Aug 2, 2007 two hundred + citizens of the Sunshine coast, BC gathered at the Sunshine Coast Regional District office with their continuing demand to the SCRD to issue an immediate STOP WORK ORDER to Western Forest Products' logging in the Chapman Creek Community Watershed. Concerned citizens put their lives on the line to go into the "Heli block" of the watershed, some to observe and some eventually stopping logging for a moment. There was much outrage when WFP continued logging with civilians in the forest. In Part 1 of the events from Aug 1 - Aug 5, 2007 footage of the clear cutting in the watershed is revealed along with more video that this is an OLD GROWTH forest with ancient Cedars and Yew trees -some just cut down that day.!!
