BC used to be home to immense valleys filled with the largest and oldest trees in the world, a great and mighty rainforest. This is a tribute to the fallen.

“Humans are not intelligent, nor are they fully self-aware. They are simply very efficient in resource appropriation and exploitation. This is not intelligence by any measure, but a type of skill. Skills become outdated. Intelligence doesn’t” #amwriting #ClimateCrisis

“Second-growth tree farms are ecological deserts. They are unconnected from nature and will not recover as biodiverse forests in our lifetime."
Important words from Dr. Karen Price, one of the most renowned experts on forest ecology in B.C.

We don’t see this often because there’s hardly any left! #OldGrowth #WorthMoreStanding #cdnpoli #bcpoli
While many of us relax under trees this weekend, our oldest and most carbon-rich trees are leaving on trucks. @saveoldgrowth @SaveFairyCreek @VanIsleVacation #vancouverisland

Another #OldGrowth deferral area is being logged while forest defenders face jail time this week in Nanaimo. This is Looper Creek in the Caycuse, only one half of a mountainside of in tact Old Growth remains in the area. #ClimateAction #bcpoli #WorthMoreStanding – at Central Okanagan J, British Columbia

Heading out to the woods this long weekend?
Don't forget that despite its promises to protect old-growth, the @bcndp government still allows the destruction of thousands of hectares of endangered forests in BC.

Help save Bugaboo Creek! Some of the richest high elevation old growth, home to at least 21 endangered marbled murrelets, is literally on the chopping block. @KatrineConroy this area should be set aside as a wildlife habitat area. #OldGrowth #bcpoli #ClimateAction – at Duncan, British Columbia

An aerial view of 40 hectares of old growth deferral being actively logged up Downie Creek North of Revelstoke.
The @bcndp promised to protect old growth but every day ancient trees are falling across the province. Talk and log cannot continue

Nothing to see here. Just another 30 +/- years of chemical applications to public forests to take out the red alder, thimbleberry, elderberry, salmonberry and any other leafy "pest."
And @WFPCompany wants to do another 5 years of this. Learn more:

In June, we visited the #CaycuseValley in unceded Ditidaht territory. The valley is home to at-risk #oldgrowthforest that is designated to be off-limits to logging, but was cut down while the @bcndp government delayed. Check out our update from a #clearcut in the valley.

Over 1100 people have been arrested trying to protect these giants from being logged. Only a fraction of large old growth remain in B.C. and they keep falling.

Help protect the Inland Temperate Rainforest by sharing this video and demanding @jjhorgan @KatrineConroy and the @bcndp end old-growth logging in the Inland Temperate Rainforest.
More than 500 kilometres from the coast, the world's only Inland Temperate Rainforest is disappearing every day. Watch our newest video to find out what the BC Government and logging industry doesn't want you to know.

FYI logging companies like @HDLogging are still destroying #OldGrowth forests without @Maamtagila consent in watersheds with proposed & requested deferrals throughout. #BCTimberSales just conveniently ignoring #Maamtagila on #VancouverIsland #BCpoli
Stumps of BC retweeted
Nice “stream” buffer BC Timber Sales….. there’s no stream here anymore. Just a clearcut with 500+ year old cedar stumps in @Maamtagila territory on #VancouverIsland @jjhorgan is still letting corporations log the last #OldGrowth on the coast everyday folks. #BCpoli

I got some feedback recently that I'm a bit too terse when talking to people in the B.C. government about old-growth logging.
I'll work on it, but in twenty years if the only place to see thousand year-old trees is the handful of parks, I'll have bigger regrets than my tone.
