Rock legend Neil Young surprised a protest crowd in Canada over the weekend with his first in-person performance since 2019.

Young and his wife, actor Daryl Hannah, appeared unannounced at the event, which was protesting the logging of old-growth trees in British Columbia.

Young told the crowd, “It’s a precious, sacred thing, these old trees because they show us the power of nature when we are being threatened. They show us the past, and they show us our future.”

Watch Young’s performance of “Heart of Gold” and “Comes A Time” below.
