forest here in british columbia and there's a listing here for over 600 acres — that's about a square mile of primary forest. and when you look up the results, this is interesting — nearly all of the bidders were timber companies, but they were all outbid by drax�*s pallet firm, pinnacle. this is what drax has bought — rare old—growth primary forest. drax initially told us that logging the area would reduce the risk of wildfire because many of the trees are dead. then, it said it had transferred the logging licence to another company. but we checked — drax still holds the licence. and the latest satellite images show the trees are being cut down right now.
