Teal Cedar, the logging company embroiled in a controversy over old-growth trees near Port Renfrew at Fairy Creek, has filed a lawsuit against 15 people and entities, alleging a conspiracy to harm the company.

The lawsuit, filed in B.C. Supreme Court, also targets Atleo River Air Service and the Rainforest Flying Squad, described as an “unincorporated association of persons.”

Court documents claim the defendants are accused of obstructing and delaying Teal Cedar and its contractors from conducting road construction and forestry work in the Fairy Creek area.
