Interfor Logging of Lost Shoe Creek, near Pacific Rim Park
 
 
Some of the 16 cutblocks Interfor logged in 1999-2000 in Lost Shoe Creek. At lower right is an older cutblock and road, done by Interfor in 1997-1998. This aerial view illustrates the progressive removal of old growth forest in Lost Shoe valley, next to Pacific Rim National Park. 78% of the area of the Lost Shoe valley has now been logged, with almost 100% of the Lost Shoe productive old growth forest outside the park boundary being cut.

One of 16 cutblocks Interfor logged in 1999-2000 in Lost Shoe Creek, adjacent to Pacific Rim National Park. The person is standing beside a cedar stump so massive that Interfor was able to build a helicopter landing platform on it.
 
 
Protester arrested June 2000 for blocking Interfor's logging in Lost Shoe Creek, on the border of Pacific Rim National Park. In January 2000, the park became one of the core protected areas of the new Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve. Despite this, Interfor logged to within 75 meters of the park boundary in the cutblock.
