  1. Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.

    From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
    April 16, 2026.

    Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.

    Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.

    In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.

    Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.

    University of Victoria – [Lecture Theatre HSD A240]

  3. My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

    Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
    "It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

  5. 2025 marks my 33rd year with trying to get #BCForestryReform in #BritishColumbia #Canada.

    The former BC Liberals were big on profiting from #deforestation. We had some hope when #BCNDP took over #BCgovernment but that was quickly dashed. The now dead John Horgan led BC into fresh new neoliberal, ecocidal hellholes. Our current BC Premier Eby was groomed by that former colonial capitalist jerkwad. Both neoliberals & fascist adjacent, white-is-right turdbuckets. More forests were clear-cut under #BCNDP power than under the former BC Liberal asshats.

    Don't buy into government greenwashing & whitewashing lies when it comes to old growth forests. Denounce forestry industry funded lobbyists BS too. We need to #BanCorporateLobbyists & to #StopCorporateWelfare to fight more government corruption.

    #FlashbackFriday
    2021. Chained up in front of BC Ministry of Environment for 4 hours to demand a stop to old growth logging, for Old Growth Strategic Review recommendations to be fully implemented & for massive BC forestry reforms.

  7. #Subsidizing #Clearcuts.
    Communities and forest workers need a new social contract, not a corporate bailout.

    watershedsentinel.ca/article/s

    In June, USW Local 1-1937 went on strike in Tree Farm License 64 because the company insists on hiring non-union contractors to do union work. The new TFL is held by Western Forest Products and La-Kwa sa muqw, a partnership of four Vancouver Island First Nations: Tlowitsis, We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, and K’omoks.

    Forest industry losses will continue because the Canadian lumber industry is barely profitable. Almost all the old growth forests are gone. The easy-to-reach, low-elevation, high-value trees were taken years ago. What’s left is the “guts and feathers,” as Wilderness Committee campaign director Joe Foy says.

    It costs politicians nothing to claim that this bailout will benefit workers. But the only thing they can guarantee is a new round of austerity: cutting wages and benefits and replacing union workers with non-union contractors – the same gambit that led to the Steelworkers’ strike.

  9. In the fall of 1985, a small group of #Haida people stood on a muddy #logging road on #LyellIsland —and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful #resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, #sovereignty and #environmental #justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying #archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, #courage and quiet #humanity of that moment.

    Directed by Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time), the film honours the #Elders , #activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the #HaidaNation — and for all of #Canada.

  11. I don't support any BS industrialized innovations that are only used to make more fast profits for sleazy, greasy ecociders who don't give a fuck about our ecosystems, wildlife, humans or future generations. When you don't work in sustainable ways, when your work involves constantly killing Mother Nature for paycheques - you're going to pay the consequence prices at some point. I hope it is the worst hell on Earth for the ecociders.

    You're fucking complicit in killing the very ecosystems that sustain all life on this planet.

    #WildFirst or you will all feel more wrath from disrespecting, abusing & exploiting Mother Nature. Nature doesn't give a fuck what your political allegiances are. Your grandkids will loathe your complicity, ecociders & sellout enablers.

  13. *2 DAYS LEFT*
    From The Discourse, Cowichan area based independent media. Please take the #survey if you care about access to #wilderness areas. Mosaic is one of the worst ecocide corporations in BC & they're responsible for much #deforestation on #VanIsle & surrounding islands.

    Mosaic published a survey earlier this month to gather public input on responsible recreation. The company says it will use the survey results to guide the company’s “commitment to responsible #ForestStewardship — balancing public recreation with #environmental protection.”

    If you’d like to let Mosaic know what you think about opening up the gates to the private land it manages, the survey is open until May 23.

    mosaicforests.com/news-views/m

    The Discourse published an article by reporter Rowan Flood covering the ongoing battle between outdoor recreation groups and Mosaic Forest Management. Mosaic manages huge swaths of land on #VancouverIsland and tightly controls access to what one outdoor enthusiast called the most impressive and “jaw-dropping” parts of the Island. I was completely floored to learn that nearly 600,000 hectares of #unceded land on the Island is privately owned and is managed by a single company.

  15. #ThickTrunkTuesday

    This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

    The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

    A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.

    atlasobscura.com/places/canada

    vancouverislandview.com/findin

    We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

  19. Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

    Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

    Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

  21. Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.

    River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.

    "My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."
