On Saturday, Oct. 5, a small group of concerned citizens met at the Roberts Creek Co-Housing Common Room to hear Angela and Ron Skene narrate a slide show called “A Farewell Tour of the Rocky Mountain Glaciers – Insights from a 2019 Summer Road Trip.” This presentation was a fundraiser for ELF, the B.C.-based environmental group providing information to the public on proposed logging in important forest lands. In its efforts to protect key forests and habitat from elimination, this group works tirelessly, trodding through the morass of government agencies and continuously raising money for legal expenses. At present, they are imagineering a movement to bring public attention to the Clack Creek Forest legal challenge.
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” So, standing outside the box, there was an idea put forward to mobilize a group to cut out 1,000 red felt hearts and using a modicum of glue, attach them to a thousand trees in the forest.
Public help is needed to make a forest with 1,000 hearts. Meet on Saturday, Oct. 19 to be part of a public art installation. Meet at B&K Road parking lot at the power lines in Roberts Creek at 10:30 a.m.
If you would like to participate, bring scissors for cutting felt and your camera.
