Tree spiking is hammering a metal pin into a tree at an angle that could catch a chainsaw.

The Fairy Creek watershed near Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island is owned by the provincial government on Pacheedaht First Nation lands and contains old-growth forest.

In June 2021 the B.C. government banned logging in parts of the watershed for two years .

This was subsequently extended to Feb. 1, 2025 .
