That’s right. The B.C. government is planning to log critical #spottedowl habitat and #oldgrowth forest at Fire Lake.

This area is federally mapped as essential for the survival of the endangered northern spotted owl, so why did we find proposed cutblocks in the provincial government's maps?

The northern spotted owl, a striking medium-sized owl with distinctive dark-brown eyes, is the most critically endangered species in Canada.

Unfortunately, industrial logging destroyed the owl's #oldgrowth forest habitat. Only a single wild-born #spottedowl remains today.

🚨 Logging in spotted owl habitat? Still happening.

Despite federal plans to protect habitat for the critically endangered spotted owl, our team’s recent trip to Fire Lake revealed BC Timber Sales is planning to log in the very forests these birds need to survive.

#spottedowl #oldgrowth #bcpoli

There is only one wild-born spotted owl left in Canada. Captive breeding won’t work if there are no forests left for these birds to return to. Logging here would be a death sentence.

Stay tuned for actions 3/3 🧵

But on our latest expedition, we discovered BC Timber Sales plans to log inside this protected habitat.

These cutblocks haven’t been approved yet but if they are, they’ll destroy one of the last intact forests the spotted owl relies on. 2/3 🧵

📍 Fire Lake, B.C.

This old-growth forest is critical habitat for the spotted owl. June 2025, the fed gov released a spotted owl recovery strategy, identifying 4,000 km² of forest that must be protected to save the species. 1/3 🧵

B.C. logging deal sparks clash over Indigenous rights and endangered owl A B.C. Supreme Court judge has approved Teal-Jones' interim sale of a Fraser Valley forest licence, leaving endangered spotted owl habitat open to logging before the province consults First Nations

​​The prospect of such a major transfer of logging rights in critical spotted owl habitat worries Joe Foy, the Wilderness Committee’s conservation and policy campaigner.

“For me, that’s problematic.”
