On April 25, Elphinstone Logging Focus ended an over three week protest presence in opposition to logging the site at road access to the cutblock, just off the B and K logging road in the Roberts Creek area.
ELF spokesperson Hans Penner, told Coast Reporter that while the protestors are not on site full-time, a daily presence is planned. He said ELF’s action is to demonstrate support for what it has heard from the community: the view that 'this block is not for sale.'
Protesters organized by ELphinstone Logging Focus block road access to BC Timber Sales Joe Smith Creek cutblock on BC's Sunshine Coast.
