The extension to Feb. 1, 2025, applies to the order issued two years ago at the request of the Pacheedaht First Nation.
The British Columbia government has extended an order deferring old-growth logging in the Fairy Creek watershed on Vancouver Island.
A statement from the Ministry of Forests says the deferral protects just under 12 square kilometres of timber on Crown land within the watershed. When it announced the initial deferral in 2021, the province said the postponement to old-growth logging would allow Pacheedaht titleholders time to build resource-stewardship plans for their lands.
