Sam Dabrusin wants to save the environment — one hanky at a time.
He’s giving out free handkerchiefs at UBC, hoping that anyone who takes one will use the hanky, rather than a paper towel, to dry their hands after they use the washroom.
It all started when Dabrusin, now a third-year political science student at UBC, went on a high-school exchange to Japan. “For the first month or so, my hands were always wet; I was wiping them on my pants,” he said. “They don’t have paper towels or hand dryers in over 90 per cent of the bathrooms there.
“It’s the cultural norm to carry around a handkerchief…. Then when I got back to North America, I started using [handkerchiefs] again without thinking.”
While canvassing for Greenpeace after his first year of university, Dabrusin tried to think up a project he could start to help the environment, and his mind went to his hanky habit.
“I made the connection in my head that [paper towels] were dead trees that we just throw in the garbage…. I was just using less.”
Dabrusin approached the sustainability committee at the AMS student society, and he learned how much paper towel waste comes from just the Student Union Building. “I found out the SUB goes through about 40 bags of trash a day, just out of the bathrooms,” he said. “At least 90 per cent of that, or more, is going to be paper towels, right?”
He made a pitch to the AMS about a plan to offer free hankies outside bathrooms, but they weren’t able to offer him grant money for the project.
“We didn’t see the connection between buying a handkerchief and then getting people to consistently use a handkerchief instead of paper towel,” said Tristan Miller, AMS VP Finance.
Undeterred, Dabrusin wound up getting $1,100 for his project from another group, the Student Environment Centre. He used it to buy hundreds of handkerchiefs from Hankettes, a Vancouver Island company.
He’s been handing them out at a booth in the SUB since Tuesday, and suggesting that anybody who takes one also donate to the Ancient Forest Alliance. “The response has been pretty good,” he said. “It’s a behaviour change thing, so it’s a big project. We’re aiming to do this next semester as well.”
Dabrusin hopes that the project won’t just save trees, water and energy; he also wants it to get people thinking about how much they consume.
“This is a really good way to get into a discussion about the disposable culture that we have right now…. On campus, we’ll have a meal and we’ll throw out some plastic, we’ll throw out some styrofoam, all without thinking about it.
“We’ll do that on a daily basis, and that’s just for meals, you know? There’s so much other stuff, too, that’s very disposable. I think this would be a good way to start that conversation.”
As it looks for ways to shore up the province’s timber industry, the B.C. government is in danger of not seeing the forest for the trees.
The harvesting of pine beetle-damaged logs is winding down, and now lumber mills in the Interior face a shortage of logs. The government, as it should, is looking for the means to save jobs and keep the industry viable.
Among the remedies considered are reviewing restrictions on logging environmentally sensitive areas and marginally economic stands, and giving lumber companies more leeway to manage forest lands.
The possibility of opening previously protected old-growth forests to logging has stirred concerns – with reason. B.C. groups and residents have fought for years to protect old-growth forests, and the case has already been made for preserving these irreplacable resources. The public will not stand for invading these special places.
The government plans to re-examine areas where logging has been considered economically marginal, and to take another look at restrictions on forest reserves.
What is needed is a full-scale forest inventory. Much of the data available is decades old, and has likely been thrown out of whack by the pine-beetle infestation.
No business that sells a commodity can get by without taking inventory regularly. You don’t know what you can sell until you know what you have.
The calculation should not be how many trees are needed to support a certain number of jobs, but how many jobs will be supported by trees available through sustainable harvest. The hard truth might well be that logging should be scaled back.
Forests Minister Steve Thomson said any decisions to cut old-growth forests will be based on science, but the science used should be forestry, not political science or economics. It should look not only at the quantity of lumber, but the entire ecosystem. A forest is more than a certain quantity of two-by-fours, it’s a system that supports wildlife, generates tourism and recreation and protects watersheds. Grants for graduate students
Is it possible to have a healthy forest and still harvest timber? Of course – not only is it possible, it’s essential. Using up the timber supply faster than it can be replenished means the end of the forest, the killing of the goose that lays the golden egg. No forests, no lumber industry, no jobs.
Noted forester Merve Wilkinson proved the worth of good forestry practices on his 28 hectares of forest near Nanaimo. After 60 years, he had taken twice the original volume of lumber from the property and was still left with 110 per cent of the volume. Wilkinson, who died in 2011, sold his property, known as Wildwood at Yellow Point, to The Land Conservancy so it could continue to be a showpiece of forestry.
The methods used in a relatively small parcel might not translate easily to large tracts, but the principles should be closely examined to see how they can be implemented on a larger scale.
If forests are depleted for short-term profit, you can be sure the result will be long-term pain.

East Side Games CEO Jason Bailey announced Wednesday that the company has given a “significant” cash donation and will provide online social media support for the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA).
The social and mobile gaming company, founded in July 2011, is Canada’s largest independent game developer with one million fans on Facebook.
In the past year, Bailey said, more than seven million people have played their games.
AFA is trying to save a 50-hectare old-growth forest at Echo Lake, east of Mission, that is home to hundreds of roosting eagles.
He said even though they do not have plans to specifically build a themed game around Echo Lake, they are integrating parts of the campaign into their games.
“There is a plan … to take one of the trees or an eagle character and put it directly into the games … and make it one of the awesome items in the game that you really want to have, which will increase awareness of this campaign,” Bailey added.
AFA’s executive director Ken Wu said Echo Lake is one of the last lowland old-growth forests remaining in the entire Lower Mainland.
The B.C. government’s newly proposed old-growth management area, Wu said, would protect a portion of Echo Lake, but would exclude areas containing some of the lake’s old-growth trees.
A 60-day public review into the proposed management plan ends Nov. 5.
East Side Games announced its support for the Ancient Forest Alliance initiative during a news conference Wednesday. Jason Bailey, the video-game company’s chief executive officer, said he is writing a “significant” cheque to the environmental group. But he said the company’s contribution won’t stop there.
“There is a plan to integrate this campaign directly into the games,” Mr. Bailey said. “… to take an eagle character and put it directly into the games … and make it one of the awesome items in the game that you really want to have – that will also increase awareness of this campaign.”
The Ancient Forest Alliance is trying to save about 50 hectares of old-growth forest at Echo Lake, east of Mission. Ken Wu, the organization’s executive director, said the area is home to hundreds of roosting bald eagles each fall, and also features giant red cedar trees and extremely rare old-growth Douglas firs.
The B.C. government last month invited the public to comment on Fraser Valley land-use plans. The deadline is Nov. 5. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Forests said last week concerns about Echo Lake will be considered in the process. She said the province is looking at a proposal to designate 1,500 hectares in the area for wildlife management, which could protect winter feeding areas for eagles. Nursing grants for college
Mr. Wu said while the B.C. government’s proposed old-growth management area would protect a portion of Echo Lake’s old-growth forests, it doesn’t go far enough.

The campaign to protect British Columbia’s endangered old-growth forests has gained a unique and powerful new supporter: East Side Games is an independent, Vancouver-based tech company that specializes in developing online games for social media and mobile platforms and that has over one million Facebook fans around the world. It is the largest social and mobile game developer in Vancouver.
The company (https://eastsidegamestudio.com) is providing online social media support for the Ancient Forest Alliance (https://staging.ancientforestalliance.org) to help raise awareness and to mobilize the public to protect BC’s endangered old-growth forests, along with a substantial donation. The campaign includes a focus on saving a magnificent stand of old-growth trees at Echo Lake east of Mission, home to hundreds of roosting bald eagles each fall.
The extent of company’s social media reach to help the environmental campaign was demonstrated last week when almost 6000 people “shared” a Vancouver Sun article about the Echo Lake Ancient Forest after it was posted on one of Eastside Games’ Facebook fan pages
(see the article at: https://www.vancouversun.com/search/Province+urged+protect+Harrison+eagles/7371025/story.html)
The company’s CEO, Jason Bailey, is a former environmental activist who worked with the Ancient Forest Alliance’s (AFA) executive director, Ken Wu, over 20 years ago to protect old-growth forests through a small East Vancouver environmental group. Bailey is challenging other Vancouver tech companies to also come forward and support the AFA’s campaign, and will also match the donations of any Eastside Game employees who wish to support the AFA. Over 4 million people have played East Side Games’ Facebook games over the past three years, and Bailey will begin using the network to help promote the AFA’s petition-drives, letter-writing campaigns, and awareness-raising efforts to protect BC’s ancient forests.
“BC’s economy has diversified over the past 20 years and is no longer dominated by old-growth logging. BC’s tech sector is now a major and growing economic engine in the province, employing 80,000 people – almost twice that of forestry in the province. The skilled labour force that the tech sector draws from has chosen to locate in BC in large part because of its natural beauty and the work-life balance provided by its forests, mountains and wild coast,” stated Jason Bailey, Eastside Games CEO. “We’ll be providing major social media and financial support for the Ancient Forest Alliance. We’ll be leveraging our tech industry connections as well as our millions of local and international users to bring more awareness to BC’s natural beauty and the threat that it is under. My staff and I were really blown away by the magnificent ancient trees upon visiting Echo Lake last summer, and I’m determined to help see the area protected.”
“While the tourism sector has supported the ancient forest movement in BC, this will be the first time that a major tech business has weighed-in to help that I’m aware of. Social media in today’s world can have a public reach on par with the major news media in some cases, and East Side Games’ support with their one million plus Facebook fans will represent an unprecedented surge in social media awareness for BC’s ancient forests. In addition, being a small and new organization, their generous donation to the Ancient Forest Alliance will go exceptionally far to help our campaigns,” stated Ken Wu, the AFA’s executive director. “I hadn’t seen Jason in literally 20 years until a few months ago when we met in a Vancouver taco shop. I’m impressed that he’s still basically the same guy who loves nature and supports environmental activism– except that today he’s not the broke East Van hippie that I knew back then. His circumstances have changed, he’s grown up as we all have, and he has much more powerful means at his disposal to help the cause and is putting them into effect now – for which we’re most grateful.”
The Ancient Forest Alliance has launched a new campaign to protect one the last endangered lowland old-growth forests left in the Lower Mainland at Echo Lake between Mission and Agassiz. The lake includes a spectacular, monumental stand of giant redcedars and extremely rare old-growth Douglas firs, 99% of which have already been logged on BC’s coast. Virtually all low elevation old-growth forests in the region have been now been logged, with most remaining old-growth stands consisting of smaller trees at higher altitudes on steep slopes. The area is in the traditional, unceded territory of the Sts’ailes First Nations band (formerly the Chehalis Indian Band).

In September, the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations launched a 60 day public review ending on Nov.5 of proposed Old-Growth Management Areas that would prohibit logging as part of the process to complete the land use planning process in the Chilliwack Forest District. See: [Original article no longer available]
Unfortunately, while the BC government’s newly proposed Old-Growth Management Area for Echo Lake would protect a portion of its old-growth forests on the south side of the lake, it would exclude some of the finest old-growth stands on the west and north sides of the lake.
Echo Lake is home to one of the largest concentrations of bald eagles on Earth. Thousands of eagles come each fall to eat spawning salmon in the Harrison and Chehalis Rivers and hundreds of eagles roost in the old-growth trees at night around Echo Lake. It is also home to a large array of biodiversity including bears, cougars, bobcats, deer, mountain goats, and osprey, and until recent times was populated by the critically endangered northern spotted owl.
The vigilance of local landowners on the east side of Echo Lake, whose private lands restrict public access to the old-growth forests on the Crown lands on the west side of the lake, have held-off industrial logging of the lake’s old-growth forests thusfar. Across the southern coast of BC, over 80% of the original, productive old-growth forests have already been logged.
While the Ancient Forest Alliance is calling for the protection of Echo Lake’s forests, the organization is primarily calling for a larger provincial plan to protect the remaining endangered old-growth forests across BC while expanding sustainable second-growth forestry jobs. In particular, some of the key policy shifts the organization is calling for include:
“How many jurisdictions on Earth still have trees that grow as wide as living rooms and as tall as downtown skyscrapers? And how many jurisdictions still consider it okay to turn such trees in giant stumps and tree plantations? What we have here in BC is something exceptional, the likes of which won’t be seen again for a long, long time if they are logged,” stated AFA executive director Ken Wu. “More than ever we need the BC government to have the wisdom and courage to move ahead with a plan that protects our endangered old-growth forests, ensures the sustainable logging of second-growth forests, and ends the export of raw logs to foreign mills”.
“Having had some successes in recent years with my entrepreneurial endeavours, I am fortunate to be in a position to give back to this province in more ways then just paying large tax bills. Together with the tech community we can help to protect these exceptionally beautiful ancient trees and ecosystems for future generations while continuing to diversify the economy by creating more jobs in non-resource based industries.”

A small grove of timber in the Fraser Valley used as a night roost by flocks of eagles has long been a secret known only to a few people in British Columbia.
But now an environmental group, the Ancient Forest Alliance, and a landowner who has property adjacent to the roosting trees are working together to publicize the area, in the hopes of saving it from logging.
“I would say between 25 and 50 hectares has to be protected – which is not a huge amount to save what is a natural wonder of the world,” said Stephen Ben-Oliel, who first learned of the eagle roost when he bought land at Echo Lake 17 years ago.
In the late fall, thousands of eagles gather along the nearby Harrison and Chehalis rivers to feast on spawning salmon, a major ecotourism draw and focus of the annual Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival, which this year is held Nov. 17 and 18.
But while boat and hiking tours have long allowed people to see the eagles feeding along the rivers, few knew where the birds went when darkness fell.
Mr. Ben-Oliel says they come by the hundreds, just at dusk, to settle in the big trees cupped in the small valley that holds Echo Lake, east of Mission.
“They are like a secret and that little valley is like a secret,” he said. “People living in the Fraser Valley often don’t know there’s a lake there because it’s surrounded by mountains. It’s a hidden valley, with this secret of the eagles.”
Mr. Ben-Oliel said a Ministry of Forests land use plan under study for the Fraser Valley sets aside part of the old-growth timber around Echo Lake, but would allow a swath of trees that the eagles perch in at night to be logged.
“The outside of this valley has all been hammered by logging. Why not save this little place.…Why not leave this as the place they sleep?” he asked.
Mr. Ben-Oliel said the birds don’t come in large numbers every year, but when they do it is a major wildlife event.
“Some years it’s like you are in the middle of a National Geographic shot and then, for reasons I don’t understand, in other years there aren’t many,” he said. “They come in singly just at dusk, from the end of November through December and into January. There are certain points, about an hour before the sun sets, when the sky is not empty of them. Sometimes they are circling one of the two small mountains, in groups of 15 to 20, but then they start to stack up in the trees. It’s not something that is easily photographed because it’s twilight, but you see their white heads sticking up like golf balls around the lake.”
Ken Wu, executive director of the Ancient Forest Alliance, said the provincial land use plan sets aside trees on one shore of Echo Lake, but not the other. “It all needs to be saved,” he said, arguing the government needs to double its plan to save 45 hectares.
Mr. Wu said his organization, which searches for the last remaining patches of old growth around the province, then lobbies to save them, became aware of Echo Lake in 2007, when the area was first slated for logging.
Protests at that time persuaded the government to hold off, he said, but now a detailed land use plan for the Fraser Valley is being finalized, which would allow a portion of the Echo Lake timber to be cut. Mr. Wu said he has been unable to find any comparable old growth anywhere in the Lower Mainland. The trees are 300 to 600 years old.
“I mean, it is exceedingly scarce. It’s like coming across a Sasquatch these days, to find valley bottom, low elevation old growth in the Lower Mainland.”
In an e-mail, Vivian Thomas, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Forests, said the government is now accepting public comment on Fraser Valley land use plans, and concerns about Echo Lake will be considered in that process. She also said the government is looking at a proposal to designate 1,500 hectares in the Harrison and Chehalis area for wildlife management, which could protect winter feeding areas for eagles.

Echo Lake, between Mission and Agassiz, has become the focal point behind a new campaign aimed at protecting old-growth forests and eagle roosting areas around the province.
Conservationists with the Ancient Forest Alliance are calling for the provincial government to protect Echo Lake’s forest.
Areas containing some of the lake’s old-growth trees would be excluded from the province’s proposed Old-Growth Management Area.
“This is really an extremely rare gem of lowland ancient rainforest in a sea of second-growth forests, clearcuts and high altitude old-growth patches,” said Ken Wu, executive director of the Ancient Forest Alliance. “To still have an unprotected lowland ancient forest like this left near Vancouver is like finding a Sasquatch. How many jurisdictions on earth still have trees that grow as wide as living rooms and as tall as downtown skyscrapers. What we have here in B.C. is something exceptional.”
The government is currently in the midst of a 60-day public input process into their proposed management plan.
The alliance hopes enough public engagement would help protect the entire old-growth forest at Echo Lake.

David Hancock says he has personally counted more than 7,000 bald eagles in one day on the Harrison and Chehalis rivers – a world record and almost twice the best tally of Brack-endale Eagles Provincial Park near Squamish.
Today, as the eagles arrive again to feast on the area’s annual salmon runs, Hancock is counting on the B.C. government to do the right thing and increase protection for one of the planet’s great avian spectacles.
“At the moment, we don’t really have any legally defined protection,” said Hancock, a trustee with the American Bald Eagle Foundation and chair of the Surrey-based Hancock Wildlife Foundation.
Ken Wu of the Ancient Forest Alliance is also calling for increased protection of the eagles by putting an end to clearcutting of their prime roosting habitat on Crown forest land.
He said the province has proposed an old-growth management area of about 45 hectares at Echo Lake – critical eagle habitat just west of Harrison River and north of Highway 7 – but has excluded another 25 hectares. “Lowland old-growth of this quality in the Lower Mainland is as rare as a sasquatch now,” he said. “It should be a no-brainer that the whole thing must be included.”
What protection that does exist at Harrison/Chehalis applies mainly to the wetlands and is non-governmental: the Chehalis River Conservancy (192 hectares) is owned by the Nature Trust of B.C. and leased to the federal fisheries department; the Martin Property (7.5 hectares) is owned by the Nature Trust and Ducks Unlimited Canada.
In comparison, the Squamish River Valley has 755-hectare Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park.
Hancock said the Harrison-Chehalis area should be declared a provincial wildlife management area – at a minimum – to protect the eagles from uncontrolled human activities on the Chehalis flats.
“It only takes one person to walk out there when there are 5,000 eagles and they are all gone,” he said. “That makes no sense at all. They need that feeding and resting area.”
Brennan Clarke, spokesman for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, said that the old-growth management area is “proposed specifically to overlap with the eagle roosting area” and that the ministry is “working on a more comprehensive wildlife plan for this general area. It’s currently in very preliminary stages.”
Hancock agreed that eagles are especially drawn to Echo Lake to roost in a “cirque of big old trees around that lake” and that the entire forest there should be fully protected, since much of the area has been “hammered” by clearcutting.
“It’s the last chunk of old-growth,” he said. “It’s just one of those old traditional social gathering sites. When you get hundreds and hundreds of eagles nesting in a few trees it’s obviously an important part of their being.”
Stephen Ben-Oliel, who owns a 16-hectare property bordering Echo Lake, also supports protection of the area. “They roost here because it’s one of the last places with old-growth trees,” he confirmed.
Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park was created to protect floodplain habitat, including “critical perching, roosting and feeding” areas for bald eagles arriving to forage on spawning salmon, says the BC Parks management plan for the site, noting it recorded a “world record” of 3,769 eagles during a 1994 count.
Hancock said he observed 7,362 eagles at Harrison-Chehalis on Dec. 11, 2010, along a two-kilometre distance.
“These are absolute counts, not estimates,” he noted.” It’s a small area. I stand there with the telescope and walk around in a circle and someone writes them down as I count them. These won’t be disputed.”
Dick Cannings, a noted birder, biologist, and author living in the Okanagan Valley, said that “if the 7,000-plus figure is accurate – and I have no reason to doubt that – the Harrison-Chehalis area can lay some claim to be the Bald Eagle capital of the world.”
Hancock estimated more than 10,000 eagles were present in a larger 10-square-kilometre wintering area.
Kyle Elliott, a bird biologist who has studied the lower Fraser River, said that in December 2010, the average temperature in Juneau, Alaska, was 22 degrees Fahrenheit – five degrees below the average of 27 degrees.
Those colder temperatures along with the collapse of the chum salmon run at Squamish and ” ideal water levels at Chehalis flats” made for the exceptional year for eagles, he said.
Hancock, who is known for putting live video webcams at eagle nesting and feeding sites, added that increased commercial fishing of chum salmon – a species traditionally of little value – in northern waters over the years is another factor in the eagles coming further south to feed, especially on late runs at Harrison-Chehalis.
Even in a non-record year, it is not unusual to see more than 1,000 eagles congregate at Harrison-Chehalis.
The Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival takes place Nov. 17-18 on the Harrison River.
The B.C. government will examine the contentious possibility of opening old-growth forests to logging in parts of the province hardest hit by plummeting timber supplies.
It’s an idea that both proponents and opponents say would require chopping protective measures that took years to create.
The government is now constructing ground rules so that by early 2013 it can begin revisiting the designation of some sensitive areas, mainly in the north-central triangle between Burns Lake, Prince George and Quesnel.
But any decision to cut old-growth forests would be science-based and reached by consensus of all members of the community, said Forests Minister Steve Thomson.
“There may be limited opportunities to look at that, but only through a process,” he said in an interview on Tuesday.
“It’s important to recognize that this request came from the communities.”
The move comes as part of a larger strategy the government released on Tuesday aimed at boosting timber supply over the next five to 20 years. The list of actions comes in direct response to a special committee report that warned in August that measures must be taken to stave off an impending, dramatic drop in wood supply.
The plan is the final phase in the provincial government’s decade-long response to the infestation of the mountain pine beetle, which has decimated forests across the province.
The August report predicted the beetle would chew up to 70 per cent of the central Interior’s marketable timber by 2021 if nothing changes.
But environmental advocates say opening protected forests to logging would roll back years of “hard fought” legislation.
“This is blood sweat and tears, multi-stakeholder processes, consensus building. They took years, these land-use plans, to establish,” said Valerie Langer, director of Forest Ethics Solutions.
“It’s very frightening to all those people who put years of their life as volunteers into this.”
Potential pilot projects could eventually take place in Burns Lake and Quesnel, with the highest priority areas being assessed this coming spring and summer, Thomson said.
Doug Routledge, vice-president forestry with the Council of Forest Industries, welcomed the government’s “tangible” plans.
“Cautiously and well-informed,” Routledge said of the proposed changes. “We’re not unhappy to see that the question about relaxing or deferring other constraints on the working forest land-base is still on the table.”
He explained the wood they’re looking to harvest would not include the most vulnerable areas, such as that protected as a critical habitat.
Ben Parfitt, a resource policy analyst with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, has also followed the committee’s work closely.
He believes opening up an old-growth area is unrealistic, and suggested the biggest environmental threat was a part of the plan that will create new opportunities for logging by identifying marginally economic forests.
“We have a significant problem on our hands that is going to extend well beyond five to 20 years,” Parfitt said. “If the government chooses to try and address this problem by freeing up more trees to log today, I believe the crisis will be even worse than what it is now.”
But Thomson said the government believes the “greatest opportunity” to beef up timber supply lies in identifying those stands.
