A game of cat-and-mouse between old-growth activists and RCMP is unfolding in the Upper Walbran Valley, after police cleared a blockade on Tuesday and arrested four people, but were unable to prevent protesters from retaking the road and re-establishing the blockade overnight.  Fresh fires burned around a ­five-metre-tall cougar sculpture overnight as protesters built a wooden barrier on a forestry road where protesters have been camped out since late August. Police were back at the site Wednesday morning, working to extricate ­people who had chained themselves to the barrier to prevent logging in the valley. …The cut blocks, which hold an ­estimated $3 million in harvestable timber, are in Pacheedaht territory, and the nation stands to receive stumpage ^­revenue from the logging. Tsawak-qin Forestry Limited Partnership is a joint venture between Western Forest Products Inc. and a company controlled by the Huu-ay-aht First Nations, with Western Forest Products as the majority shareholder.
