Trashing a British Columbia Drinking Watershed Reserve: High Elevation Logging in Peachland Creek (2019)

This video documentary, by Will Koop of the BC Tap Water Alliance (www.bctwa.org), “Trashing a British Columbia Drinking Watershed Reserve: High Elevation Logging in Peachland Creek,” was filmed from late April to May 2019. It reveals how the BC government, through something called “Professional Reliance,” and under controversial legislation that allows commercial logging in community drinking watersheds, sanctioned enormous clearcuts in the Peachland Creek Community Watershed Reserve. It reveals the total disregard that both government and industry have in protecting fresh water sources, how they disregard animal habitat, and make false claims to public bodies.

Please refer to the BC Tap Water Alliance website (www.bctwa.org) for more information and videos on the Peachland watershed, and for report information on many other community watersheds.
