Attention Prince George Residents: we need you there! Help us, Help you. Help us, Help the Wildlife. Help us, Help our Forests. Help us, Help our Land. Help us to stop the poison. You want less wildfires? Then Help us. Please show up. It's at noon so take a lunch break and come support us! Sincerely, a Concerned Tax Paying Citizen.

Lets protest this crap!!

This Thursday high noon in Prince George lets meet at the Ministry of Forests office on Ospika, right across from the CN Centre and demand an end to chemical and mechanical war on our aspen fire breaks.

With our skies filled with smoke and our forests burning did you know that the Ministry of Forests still requires the massive suppression of the most fire-resistant forest type we have?

Did you know they do this in secret and do not provide the locations even when you file a freedom of information request (the Ministry of Environment delays the release until after spray season)?

Did you know across the entire Central Interior it is illegal under 46.11 of the Forest and Range Practices Regulation to have an aspen forest larger than 5% of the cutblock, and even an aspen forest that is 5% of a cutblock shall be no larger than 2 hectares?

Did you know the extermination of 100% of the aspen in a cutblock is 100% legal? (as is the extermination of 100% of birch, cottonwood, willow, alder, saskatoon, etc)

Did you know there is ZERO protection for fire resistant aspen in our reforestation laws? It is officially a PEST and can be subject to 100% chemical and mechanical extermination with no regard for any wildlife or wildfire values!

Did you know it is the exact pure aspen forests patches we exterminate and call "pests" that have the highest fire resistance?

Did you know aspen "impede wildfire" even in hotter and drier places like the American west, that we have known this for decades, and that not even more severe fire weather eliminates the aspen advantage?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40621807/ #:~:text=We%20found%20that%20aspen%20slows,resilience;%20stabilizing%20feedback;%20wildfire.

Did you know the public pays for the spraying and brushing and the secret undisclosed war on aspen in our public forests?

Did you know that our Ministry of Forests does not audit spraying or brushing to determine if this publicly funded activity is even necessary to achieve their pine plantation policies and that completely unnecessary spraying and brushing has been documented?

Did you know the BC NDP promised to "phase out" spraying forests but that herbicide spraying cancer causing chemicals on public forests is still 100% legal?

Did you know that our Ministry of Forests is directly responsible for using your tax money to make your life worse, to undermine your health, and to compromise the future of the very forest industry it purports to serve?

Enough is enough.

It's most bizarre to be labeled/called an "activist" when it comes to this subject. All we are, are "concerned, tax paying Canadian Citizens" that don't want to be poisoned/made sick, and want to see the environment, ecosystems, water, and animals healthy. Yet wevare labeled activists?
There is something deeply wrong in this language. CBC continues the one sided narrative.

I'm sure more pictures will surface, but what a great opportunity to be part of the network that joins people to help in food sovereignty and food sustainability. We made apple sauce, apple jelly, apple chips, and apple fruit leather.
I was so busy, that i managed to take only these shots.
However, I must say this...if you registered for a free workshop, educational event, etc, please show up! Countless hours go into organizing these events, not to mention the aftermath and clean up.
Or at least...let us know, or pass on your spot to a body that will fill your spot.
Thank you Alex for all that you do. And thank you for the other volunteers and hard workers that make this all possible and happen. And thank you for for the registered participants that came out! And thank you Chef Mandy for the Venue!
Tomorrow morning...I have a big piece of buttery Sourdough Toast with a generous amount of Apple Jelly with my name on it!
I've learned quite a bit tonight, and I'm very grateful for it!
