#Subsidizing #Clearcuts.
Communities and forest workers need a new social contract, not a corporate bailout.https://watershedsentinel.ca/article/subsidizing-clearcuts/
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.

Swedish study concludes: it’s best for the climate to not cut down forests.
Who would have thought, Sherlock?

"The increasing severity of #wildfires and #drought highlights that reforming #ForestStewardship – taking better care of the forests, including safeguarding #OldGrowthForests – is one of our best hopes to protect communities across B.C.
Harmful #forestry practices like #clearcutting and #unsustainable #IndustrialLogging make extreme heat and wildfires worse. #Clearcuts are #tinderboxes, more prone to creating embers because dead trees and branches dry out in the hot sun and become more #flammable. Tree plantations and improperly tended young forests also increase wildfire risk: Younger trees have thinner bark and low-hanging branches that can act as ladder fuels, and the trees are often planted too close together, making it easy for fire to spread.
Fortunately, intact and properly managed #forests are more resilient to the worsening wildfires and heatwaves. For example, #OldGrowth #rainforests have dense canopies which provide cooling shade that resists fire. They are cooler and wetter than young forests, acting as giant sponges. Old-growth trees in the drier interior have thick bark, high branches and are widely spaced which all reduce #WildfireRisk.

In late June, #BritishColumbia & #GovernmentOfCanada announced that they’ve helped non-profit foundations & trusts buy 8 parcels of land from private owners for #OldGrowth #Conservation, largely on and around #VancouverIsland.
However, all but one of the #forests included in this purchase announcement do not contain old-growth #trees, defined by the #BCgovernment as 250-year-old #CoastalForests & 140-year-old forests in parts of the #BCInterior. Instead, 7 of 8 purchased properties contain what’s called “recruitment” old-growth — that is, forests that have been #logged.
Photos taken by members of #environmental organization #AncientForestAlliance #AFA earlier this month show massive old-growth trees being logged by #BCTimberSales, #BCNDP’s own #logging agency, in the Nahmint Valley on Vancouver Island. Some of these trees are more than 500 yrs old, according to the organization.

#StopDeforestation ✊️🌲🌳🙏
Two past #photographs together ->
#BigLonelyDoug layered over #deforestation #clearcuts 😢 in #CowichanValley
All the #OldGrowthTrees, in what used to be fully forested area, were razed down. This kind of reckless profits before planet #ClearcutLogging absolutely devastates #ecosystems & it annihilates #WildlifeHabitats.Please join the ongoing fight to #SaveOldGrowth & for #BCForestryReform. We seriously need to transition & work on #NatureFirst #WildFirst solutions for a more ethical, responsible & sustainable future.

“Biologist says it could indicate a lack of dens”
While rare, there have been recorded cases of bears denning under homes, says Helen Davis, a wildlife biologist with Artemis Wildlife Consultants, which is. based in Duncan, B.C.”https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/black-bear-den-1.7073053

Meanwhile, a small but aggressive wildfire on #VancouverIsland continues to burn beside the only major highway linking #PortAlberni #Tofino & #Ucluelet to the rest of #BritishColumbia .
Route is closed until further notice as the nearly one-square-knblaze spreads in steep terrain south of #CameronLake not far from #CathedralGrove home to some of #Canada ’s #oldest & #tallest #trees#OldGrowth #wildfires #vanisle #PNW #PacificNorthwest #ForestryMismanagement #Clearcuts

In case you thought that corporate-driven #deforestation only happens in places like #Brazil or the Democratic Republic of the #Congo :
"Located at #Yellowstone Park’s boundary, south and west of West Yellowstone, South Plateau is gargantuan, boasting more than 5,550 acres of #clearcuts and 56.8 miles of bulldozed #logging roads. This deforestation will top anything we’ve experienced since the Reagan years."

The cheery numbers the @forestservice has been selling for durable wood products never did add up. The figure still underestimates the release of #carbon by #logging. For example what about the helicopter fuel when they do helicopter #clearcuts like in the #UpperCheatRiver #WV

A reminder that the ad or sponsored tweet you'll see today insisting "forest products are climate-friendly alternatives!" will absolutely…

Department of @Interior takes an important step towards a new, strong conservation rule that will re-align @BLMNational public lands management with the needs of today. Part of that is protecting #ClimateForests from #clearcuts https://www.climate-forests.org/post/department-of-interior-moves-to-protect-mature-and-old-growth-trees-and-forests-from-logging

Before the #ClearCuts of the #Monongahela #NationalForest. This #ClimateForest was #WorthMoreStanding

Before the #clearcuts in the #UpperCheatRiver and Hogback projects of the @forestservice . Sammy rounding up the cows. Yes. we still do that.

Thanks to the article linked by @AnthonyPWalker at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac8694 we see that the Central #Appalachians are a hotspot of above-ground #carbon storage worldwide. Why is the @forestservice attacking our #ClimateForests with projects like the #UpperCheatRiver #clearcuts?

#WillowTit used to be a common #forest species in Finland. 2019 it was classified as #endangered on the Red List because of drastic population declines.
A new 30 year study suggests main culprit is intensive #forestry:
"The #EvenAged #forest #management has caused habitat loss for the #WillowTit which has affected the spatial breeding distribution measures and probably has a major role in the #population #decline of the species."
