Alberni Valley Local Events

 

This is an overhead view of Block 35 and some of the trees living within it that on Thursday October 4th, Weyerhaeuser had planned to remove for building a road. A firecracker and a few people just being there halted that from happening. I don't have to explain to anybody reading this how important it is to be saving such an accessible rare specimen of our natural history for future mankind.
