Who are we?

Defend our home and forests
The forestry industry has supported our family and friends, and a high quality of life in BC. But to keep people safe, healthy and secure we need a new way of managing our forests.
The Provincial Government is considering a new law for BC that would make biodiversity and ecosystem health the top priority for managing our forests.
A law like this could help our communities reach a better balance between having healthy forests and good jobs.
Affordable Electric Homes
We all want a reliable, clean, and affordable electrical grid. One immediate step towards achieving this is to ensure developers incorporate the most efficient electric technology in new buildings.
That’s precisely what the Zero Carbon Step Code aims to do and is essential if we want safer and more affordable community for ourselves and our kids.
Volunteer with us
Curious about how you can help? There’s lots to do!
Volunteers play an essential role in creating clean energy communities, defending wild spaces and promoting local food sustainability.
Training is always provided, making volunteering a great way to learn new skills and be a part of collective action.
Make a donation
Your contribution matters. We will use it wisely to stand up for all communities.
Your donation today will help communities transition to all electric buildings, find a better balance for people and nature, and connect people in need to healthy local food.
