Instagram post 2189508894001623977_11517514 I’ll keep sharing this until we #savesolace. In October, a few of us from @friendsoftemagami went out to go see how the Solace Wildlands are being impacted by construction of the Turner Road. For two days we camped at Twinkle Lake to the sounds of heavy machinery. We paddled down the Ames Creek to Seagram Lake and did day trips from there to film the Wildlands. When we got back to the access point four days later, two bridges had been installed by driving machinery through sensitive cold water fisheries habitat. I’ve been visiting the Solace Wildlands for years now, but in the past two - with the ongoing construction of the Turner Road - I feel such a sense of loss every time I travel here. This isn’t out of the ordinary in Temagami. Climb the hills next to your favourite rivers in the region and you’ll see the clear cuts. You’ll see the tailings ponds near the old Sherman mine site. You’ll see the roads winding through the bush targeting the biggest and most valuable white pine. At this point, I don’t know what will stop the destruction of the Solace Wildlands, but I’m fully prepared to chain myself to a bulldozer and deal with the consequences. We only have one Temagami, one Canada, one planet. 🌲✊🌎 30 years after the Red Squirrel Road blockades, we’re still fighting to save Temagami’s old growth forest. Nothing changes unless we stand up. #friendsoftemagami

John Kilbridge, canoe builder at Temagami Canoe Co. sang a song for me about four people in a canvas tent but I can’t for the life of me remember anything about it except the line, “wish there were three less of us.” After experiencing all of the snoring, I might have to agree. #temagami #friendsoftemagami
