The blockade has been in place since August 2020, organized in part by members of the Rainforest Flying Squad, to stop the logging company Teal-Jones from building a road into the Fairy Creek area and prevent old-growth logging.

Demonstrators say they are extremely disappointed with the decision, and that now is the last chance to save the area.

“This is the last stand, literally last stand of old-growth. Ninety-seven per cent of the forests of British Columbia are tree farms,” said Shambu.

“The last time trees were saved, it took how many arrests to make that happen [in the Clayoquot protests]?”

Protesters say due to the Easter weekend, they expect a big boost in numbers of around 150 people showing up by early next week.
