Tree Spiking Sparks Legal Clash | Vancouver News

Tree spiking in the Walbran Valley has reignited tensions as a court extends an injunction against logging blockades, with the logging company blaming the sabotage for millions in damages and worker safety risks. While the Walbran Watchdogs deny involvement, claiming their peaceful protests were halted after arrests last December, they’re now caught in the crosshairs of escalating conflict. The logging firm, Tsawak-qin Forestry, insists it operates responsibly alongside the Pacheedaht First Nation and urges compliance with the court order. Meanwhile, RCMP remain on high alert as arrests from December continue to shape legal outcomes — including jail time and community service — underscoring how deeply this environmental dispute has fractured the region.
