7 August 1999.
Beauty... Forests and mountains loom over us as we
travel down the east end of the Gardner Canal, about 75 km south of
Kitimat. It is one of the most beautiful areas any of us have ever seen.

...and the beast. The west half of Gardner Canal is
unfortunately no where near as beautiful. Clearcuts have stripped both
sides for dozens of miles, the legacy of greedy corporations and an
irresponsible government.

Time felt still as I lay in the Action Van hearing the sounds of early
morning fishermen getting ready for the new day. Too excited to sleep but
too tired to rise...

Booms containing fresh logs from Chambers Creek

FAN activists board the logs as they pass
through Prince Rupert harbour. Passing boaters were receptive to the
message that West Fraser is killing both forests and jobs while fattening
up on corporate profits.

Logs from another coastal logging operation await
processing at West Fraser's North Coast Timber mill. This will be the
destination for the logs we saw cut down at Chambers Creek. A rather ugly

companies like West Fraser, Interfor and other corporate forest destroyers.
