Environmental Protest and Logging Injunction Commentary

environment · Fairy Creek, San Juan Landscape Unit

An opinion piece discusses the ongoing protests and injunctions related to clear-cut logging in ancient forests, particularly around Fairy Creek and San Juan Landscape Unit. It calls for respecting Indigenous rights, halting clear-cut logging, and transferring forest management to Indigenous communities.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
