November 29, 2020 - 67 Nova Scotians showed up to support the Moose Country Blockade.
They spread out along the logging road being blocked near the Caribou River. They came from all over the Western region
to stand with us in demanding that our government suspend the approvals the Department of Lands and Forestry has handed out for
clearcutting moose country.
Please remember, the loggers are doing their job. The culprit is the Province of Nova Scotia for not implementing the Lahey Report and for the Minister of Lands and Forestry for not responding to a formal request to meet with a representative of the Moose Country Blockade about aggressive logging in a region where the Mainland Moose is critically endangered due, mostly to, loss of habitat.
Aside from contributing to the erosion of biodiversity and a healthy ecosytem, clearcuts in this region impacts hunters, trappers,
paddlers, ATVers and more. It affects us all.
