Save Cai Creek: Help Protect an Intact Watershed & Old Growth Trees

Stand with Cai Creek. Protect the forest. Defend the future.

Cai Creek is more than a forest. It is a living, connected watershed, a sanctuary for wildlife, a place of learning and recreation, and a landscape deeply valued by the community that calls this region home.

Identified by BC’s Old Growth Technical Advisory Panel as a 70–80% intact watershed, Cai Creek is precisely the kind of ecosystem that should be protected to maintain biodiversity, ecological resilience, and healthy watersheds.

Yet this precious landscape is threatened by industrial logging. Proposed operations include 2.4 km of new permanent and temporary roads, the removal of hundreds of veteran trees, and damage to sensitive hydrological features, wildlife habitat, and the forest's natural connectivity.

Since road clearing was discovered on October 19, our community has mobilized. More than 250 people have hiked into Cai Creek to stand in opposition to logging. Over 1,200 people have visited this special place since 2024, connecting with nature, learning, and building community.

Now we need your help to keep fighting.

We are raising funds to support the Save Cai Creek campaign through three essential areas:

• Legal action: Funding legal fees and advocacy to challenge destructive logging plans and pursue lasting protection for Cai Creek.
• Community camp: Supporting the infrastructure and necessities that make our on-the-ground presence possible, including tents, tarps, food, supplies, and travel.
• Land buyout: Building resources toward a potential land buyout that could secure long-term protection for this irreplaceable landscape.

This campaign brings together Indigenous allies, environmentalists, scientists, forestry workers, educators, families, youth, outdoor enthusiasts, and people who believe healthy forests and watersheds are essential to our collective future.

We stand for Indigenous rights and Sinixt authority in land stewardship, biodiversity, clean water, connected wildlife habitat, and a future where forests are valued for far more than their timber.

We are not against responsible forestry. We are calling for an approach that respects ecological limits, community voices, and the long-term health of the land.

Every donation matters. Every contribution helps.

10% of all donations will go directly to the Autonomous Sinixt Smum-Iem Governance Council.

Help us protect Cai Creek—not just for ourselves, but for the wildlife, future generations, and the living forest that cannot speak for itself.

Donate. Share. Stand with Cai Creek.
