The "jobs versus environmental protection" debate has been played out on the Sunshine Coast for years. But clear-cutting the forests of Mt. Elphinstone will only create temporary employment for the relatively few. Alternatively, setting aside1500 hectares of Mt. Elphinstone in a provincial park will protect the environment and create sustainable, long-term employment. Find out more about this biologically rich wilderness area.

Let politicians know how you feel about establishing a new 1,500 hectare Provincial Park on the lower slopes of Mt. Elphinstone between Gibsons and Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast; Only three percent of our region has protected area status. Less than one percent of the Sunshine Coast's low elevation oldgrowth forest remains. Logging activities continue to devastate and threaten the little oldgrowth forest that remains here.
