Weyerhaeuser
Weyerhaeuser is the company responsible for logging on Grassy Narrows’ land in the Trout Lake Management Unit, and buying approximately 50 percent of the fiber that Abitibi logs on Grassy Narrows’ land in the Whiskey Jack Forest Management Unit.
Weyerhaeuser, one of the world's largest logging companies, is notorious for the social and ecological devastation it has wrought across the globe. Weyerhaeuser operates through a consistent pattern of "cut and run", rapidly pillaging off local resources then laying off workers and moving out, leaving a trail of devastated communities in ecologically depleted and polluted landscapes. In spite of this dismal record, provincial governments have granted Weyerhaeuser control over 35 million acres of forests in Canada without the consent of local indigenous people who have legal, customary and ethical rights to the land.
It's time to tell Weyerhaeuser to protect endangered forests and respect indigenous rights. It's time get Weyerhaeuser out of Grassy Narrows. To find out more about Weyerhaeuser go to: www.wakeupweyco.com.
