Chemical Forestry uses herbicides after logging to kill fire-resistant deciduous trees, shrubs, berry plants and other natural forest regrowth to favour “Industry preferred” conifer plantations. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🔥 Despite decades of public and Indigenous opposition, they spray because it is considered cost-effective and convenient for industry.
But who pays the price?
Our public forests are not corporate plantations. They are watersheds, wildlife habitat, food and medicine, and we must protect them from more chemical exposure.

WHY WE ARE FIGHTING
☠️ 70 Years of Chemical Forestry
From 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T to glyphosate, triclopyr and imazapyr.
🔥 Wildfire & Conifer Plantations
Why killing deciduous growth in a warming climate deserves urgent scrutiny.
🪶 Indigenous Opposition & Rights
Decades of resolutions, non-consent and unanswered concerns.
🌲 Québec Proved There Is Another Way
Québec ended forestry herbicide spraying in public forests in 2001.
🇨🇦 IMPORTANT PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
Bill C-30 could give politicians more power over pesticide decisions when economic interests are involved. Canada needs more independent scrutiny, not less. 🎪
It matters to Chemical Forestry because provinces hide behind Health Canada registrations while Health Canada points back to the provinces. Meanwhile, the spraying continues. ⭕️🚁💦☠️
