Stillwater Bluffs, south of Powell River, is one of the top five sites earmarked as priorities for parks acquisition by the Powell River Regional District. Friends of Stillwater Bluffs and the Ancient Forest Alliance, recently held a press conference at the Sooke Potholes where they called on the BC government to form a land acquisition fund dedicated to protecting parkland.
Friends of Stillwater Bluffs have launched a petition calling for a 5-year moratorium on commercial logging in the area, while they investigate avenues to purchase cutblock DL3040 from Island Timberlands Ltd. The group has also published The Case for Retaining DL 3040 in its Entirety Undisturbed.
