Greetings Jeroen,

As long as I’ve worked with ForestEthics, I’ve kept a close eye on the environmental misdeeds of big corporations. And Royal Dutch Shell is at the top of my naughty list.

This Grinch is so slick, it’s thinking up lies and thinking them quick. Shell wants us to believe that fracking some of the most pristine wilderness in North America, in the Sacred Headwaters, is safe and good for us.1

We know how Big Oil’s story ends. Tap water you can light on fire. Poisoned wildlife. Industrial wasteland. What an awful idea!

ForestEthics has a better story. No fracking, ever. Clean water. Healthy fish. Thriving wildlife. Unspoiled wilderness. A happy ending for people and planet. Click here to make it happen.



The temporary moratorium on drilling ends in one year. We need to raise$50,000 before Dec. 31 to fight Shell and other companies seeking to exploit your natural resources for their profit.

Can I count on your gift of $25 or more today?

The good news: The tide is turning against companies like Shell and we’ve got big plans for 2012 to keep it turning. Since I delivered your 60,000+ postcards in person to Shell, citizens worldwide have begun standing up against reckless corporate greed. This is what ForestEthics is about.

Donate now to stop Shell’s dirty plans and protect our cherished wild places forever. Together we can meet our goal of raising $50,000 and keep the Sacred Headwaters – home to caribou, grizzlies and salmon – sacred.


Thank you!

P.S. This week, ForestEthics sent Santa and his helpers to Shell HQ. They gave Shell a huge lump of coal for their naughty plans to scar the Sacred Headwaters with a maze of thousands of wells and roads that would look like this:



Employees couldn't enter Shell offices without feeling the mounting pressure that "over 60,000 people want Shell out of the Sacred Headwaters for good." Here's a picture of how things looked at HQ:

Let's keep up the pressure in 2012!

Save our steelhead and salmon! Preserve the future!

Greetings Jeroen,

This summer, 60,000 of you wrote postcards protesting Shell’s plans to destroy the Sacred Headwaters. In September, I hand-delivered your messages to Shell Canada’s president, Lorraine Mitchelmore. During that time, Shell raked in a staggering $7 billion in profits. That’s over $3 million per hour.

Yet Shell still refuses to back down from its plans to scar one of the most stunning landscapes in British Columbia with thousands of kilometres of roads and wells.

We have one year to stop this:

The British Columbian government has the power to kick Shell out for good.Send a message to Premier Christy Clark and tell her to get the Shell out of the Sacred Headwaters -- permanently.

In 2008, thanks to pressure from folks like you, B.C. placed a moratorium on Shell’s dangerous plans to turn the Headwaters into an industrial checkerboard of wells and roads. This moratorium will expire on December 5th, 2012.

We need Premier Christy Clark to make the ban permanent. Can you send a message today?

Right now the Sacred Headwaters -- the source of three of Canada’s most important salmon rivers -- provides critical habitat for countless grizzlies, caribou, moose, and wild salmon. Coalbed methane development in the Sacred Headwaters threatens the wild salmon ecosystems upon which local jobs, cultures, and traditions have been built.

Premier Clark needs to hear from people all across Canada so she understands that Shell's plans threaten "Beautiful British Columbia's" reputation.

Send a message to the Premier. Tell her to make sure the Headwaters stay sacred, not scarred.


Thank you for your help!

The week after!

The week after! Yes the NAss dropped close to 10 feet and most part of the high way was open again. We drove up to the camp with the feeling i can not discribe with words. We had news that the camp was in the water! But it might be there. Getting closer to the Nass we saw a lot of devastation! And then you really realize the power of mother nature. We passed stretches of high way that where under water on the previous posts. The water mark clearly visible and left a small lake on the other side of the highway. On the left we did see the river 10 feet lower en 300 feet away! Man this has been a beast! The boat launch was gone! We had the launch the boat in unknown territory! We almost got stuck but manage to get out there safely. While jet boating down the river we saw the devastation right away! The whole river changed! A part of the forrest was gone!!! Just completely gone! It lef a swampy field with no trees. Our favourite run AKA theresa is gone! And we had a very sad feeling like somebody died in the family. That is the closed way to discribe the feeling i had when looking at this devastation. Log piles just stacked on the bank like there where tooth pick's! We came around the corner, no camp!!! And then a view seconds later yes there she is still standing strong on the high bank. It was a relief, a feeling of landing a 30 pound steelhead! After docking the boat we walked true the camp, it was a big mess. The river left a big layer of mud in the camp an the tents where still full of water. Most electrical items where toast and the cleaning starts. It took us 2 full days to clean the camp as goos as we could do it. We had to chance to main tent's floor and the complete surrounding where a mud pile. For now we will leave it like this and focus on the river!
This was the first time in our history we had to cancel the clients for this week! Only Bjorn from Germany was already here! He did some coho fishing and did well. Pics later of his stay.

So far we are tired and the guiding start again in a new river!
Water in the sleeping tents.
The tents are all covered in a layer of mud!
You can see the water line 30 cm ( a foot) from the ground up.
Inside the storage tent. Pushed away the wood floor and tip over the rubber bins. With a thick layer of........mud!
More mud!
Derek, has his own private swimming pool!

All Hell broke loose in NW BC!

Have a look at these pictures it will tell the story what happend in 24 hours!
Ou camp is flooded but hopefully we can safe the camp. But for now there is no way for us to go up there! All the high way's are closed and till further notice the will be closed.
This is not how we want to start our fall steelhead camp, but this is beyond our control! The Nass river topped at 7,70 meters high! What is a record i think! As soon i can check out the camp i will post more pics and a update but the river will be changed big time and what about the steelhead did they survive a tragedy like this! We will see soon i hope! This is North West BC a dangerous place to live and this is just one of many things that can go wrong, and we are far away from civilization!

Pure steel.

We had some tough conditions last week. The river came up over 6 feet in 24 hours so most of our fishing was over for that week. But when the river was dropping again the boy's where back in action. The lost a lot of high jumping, cart wheeling steelheads. But they also managed to land a bunch. From now on we will start running our remote steelhead camp in search of pristine steelhead and nature.


Derek had the chance to fish for a couple minutes and landed this beauty!
Dick with a heavty buck!
Bas with a very nice steelie.

More steel.

Pure steel!
Dick, with his hen.
Gert, with a well deserved fish.
