March 2017 Wildlands Advocate article, by Joanna Skrajny

The fight for the Castle has been long and hard. The landscape has suffered greatly from the days when the Castle was part of the National Parks system. Logging, mining, and petroleum extraction have all left scars on the landscape. More recently, as detailed so well by Global Forest Watch Canada, off-highway vehicle use and random camping have added their insults to the land. We thought that had changed in 2015 when the government declared that it would “fully protect” the Castle. Our hearts dropped again when we read the fine print – off highway vehicle use would be allowed in the Castle.
