The footage shows forestry workers acting aggressively, using racist language and making explicit threats against the activists. At one point, one of the forestry workers knocks a phone from a protestor's hand. Activists say the site is the last unlogged watershed on southern Vancouver Island outside of protected parks. The workers in the video appeared irate that protesters had expanded their activities beyond the Fairy Creek watershed. Chris Manseau with Cowichan Lake RCMP said they received a complaint about forestry workers harassing people travelling on logging roads.
