Found these old growth redwoods with some thick burn scars. Our old trees hold some important stories we could learn from. Probably preaching to the choir here, but worth saying we need our old growth trees to protect our environment from fires, keeping ecosystems diverse and extra cool during these burning hot days. And when we might feel helpless in that challenge its not hopeless, just being around these giant trees creates an inner calm you can actually feel. Growing in the language of peace. Trees are like a warm friend, always there when you need them.

"The old growth forest activists saved 30 years ago is still inspiring people today"
“Trump can roll back every federal regulation, sabotage every federal agency, or break any federal law he wants ... but it won’t last as long as people fight back"

A remnant giant from the ancient forest.
I walk the forest paths. Often these are just deer trails my dogs have found. Sometimes there are treasures on these trails.
This is the largest “wild” (not protected, not in a park or other set-aside) tree I’ve ever found. It’s a mystery to me why this giant was left standing when neighbours were felled. That was 100 years ago, so no one to ask. Instead of knowing, I stand in awe.
This tree may be 700-1000 years old. Rare for Douglas Firs in this region. -

#BorderWall Construction Triggers Tree Sit to Save Ancient #Arizona #Cottonwood
For Immediate Release, July 29, 2026
Contact: Russ McSpadden,LOCHIEL, Ariz.— "Protesters today climbed into an ancient cottonwood tree in Arizona’s #SanRafaelValley to stop the Trump administration from cutting it down for construction of two parallel 30-foot-tall border walls.
"The action comes after Department of Homeland Security contractors cut down three neighboring Fremont cottonwoods estimated to be 200 to 250 years old.
" 'Destroying these ancient cottonwoods is a death sentence for an entire ecosystem,' said Russ McSpadden, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. 'These magnificent cottonwoods survived centuries, nourishing wildlife through floods and drought, only to be bulldozed for the Trump administration’s disastrous border wall. The San Rafael Valley is one of the most biologically rich landscapes in North America. It’s both a refuge and crucial corridor for #jaguars, #ocelots, #BlackBears, #pronghorn and hundreds of bird species.'
Today’s action is believed to be the first tree sit aimed at stopping U.S. border wall construction.
"The three cottonwoods cut down earlier this week stood along a rare stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border where mature trees once formed a #transboundary canopy. The trees provided nesting habitat, shade and shelter within an increasingly scarce riparian #ecosystem that supports hundreds of animal species. One #protester was arrested Monday while trying to protect those trees and nesting #MigratoryBirds .
"Federal officials said preconstruction surveys would be conducted during Arizona’s active #nesting season, but observers at the site reported that no surveys for nesting migratory birds were completed before the trees were destroyed.
"The area also contains prehistoric #ArchaeologicalSites that preserve evidence of thousands of years of #Indigenous presence in the borderlands. Ongoing construction threatens cultural resources that would be permanently lost if disturbed.
"The Department of Homeland Security is constructing the #BorderWall under authorities that waive dozens of the nation’s cornerstone environmental and cultural resource protection laws, allowing construction to proceed without reviews normally required under laws including the National Environmental Policy Act, the #EndangeredSpecies Act and the National #HistoricPreservation Act.
"In a letter sent today to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Center called for an immediate halt to construction in the #Lochiel area. The letter urged the agencies to conduct comprehensive biological and cultural resource surveys, consult with Tribes with ancestral and cultural connections to the San Rafael Valley, protect the remaining ancient cottonwoods, and assess the ecological and cultural resources at risk."

Border Wall Construction Destroying Cottonwoods, 'Green Ribbon' Running Through the Desert
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, August 4, 2026
#LochielAZ -- "Day 6 at #GrandmotherCamp, there was no border wall construction since the tree sit began last Wednesday in this rich landscape. The cottonwood trees are the nesting place of #MigratoryBirds, including the rare #YellowBilledCuckoo.
" 'We've lost three grandmothers that took 250 years to grow. They were obliterated by the monstrous machinations in four hours,' Kate said on Monday from the tree sit in Lochiel, about 25 miles east of Nogales, southeast of Tucson.
" 'But I just saw a Yellow-billed #Cuckoo, federally threatened crying over this beautiful meadow.'
" 'This remaining Grandmother, that threatened bird -- we remain hopeful that our efforts here on the ground will be met with thoughtful reasonable conversation and a new direction for Lochiel community,' Kate said.
" 'This remaining Grandmother represents hope and resistance.' "

Did a family trip down South to the desert and had to find the old growth Cacti. Learned these cactus's are pretty rare, only place in the world these are found. Always curious to learn more about nature. Thats me next to this giant! Saguaro National Park, AZ.

Everyone on the West coast is familiar with Alders - they're the first trees that sprout new life when a forest is cleared or burned away. But what most haven't seen is an #OldGrowth Alder grove.
The trees pictured here are not the usual thin stick like tree's you're used too, but nearly meter diameter trees standing in a unique wetland area that's prevented the usual Large Leaf Maple and Cedar to move in over the decades.

Mapping Multifunctionality In Remote Patagonian Forest Landscapes Reveals High-Value Ecosystems Beyond Protected Areas

H/T @Peter Potapov | Researcher at the World Resources Institute (WRI)
“This paper is] a strong example of multifunctionality analysis applied to conservation planning. The study mapped six ecosystem functions, including carbon storage, nutrient availability, water regulation, erosion control, habitat quality, and ecological connectivity. [The author] combined satellite data, field soil sampling, and spatial modeling for this comprehensive analysis.
Two findings stand out.
1. Old-growth forests had the highest multifunctionality index of any land cover type.
2. 78.5% of the top multifunctionality hotspots fall outside the region's protected areas, even though PAs already cover more than 54% of the territory.
Together, these results make a clear case for expanding conservation of the remaining Intact Forest Landscapes and primary forests in Patagonia and elsewhere…”

“Remote forest landscapes provide critical references for understanding ecosystem functions (EFs) under low anthropogenic pressure, yet their capacity to sustain multiple EFs simultaneously remains poorly understood. [They] assessed landscape multifunctionality in western Patagonia by integrating satellite indicators, field data, and spatial modeling. Six EFs (carbon storage, nutrient availability, water regulation, erosion control, habitat quality, and ecological connectivity) were mapped, and their spatial relationships and hotspot distribution within and outside protected areas (PAs) were analyzed. Old-growth and secondary forests showed the highest functional performance. Strong synergies (ρ ≥ 0.6) between carbon storage and nutrient availability covered >50% of the landscape, whereas strong trade-offs (ρ ≤ –0.6) were spatially limited ( < 6%). Notably, 78% of multifunctionality hotspots occurred outside PAs, indicating that high-functional-value areas extend beyond formal conservation boundaries. These findings reveal spatial mismatches between multifunctionality and protection status and provide a replicable framework for integrating multifunctionality into conservation planning under global change…”

Just watched this powerful Four Corners investigation. Victoria and WA shut down native forest logging in their state forests... but the demand for hardwood didn't vanish. Turns out Tasmanian old-growth logs are now flooding south to Victorian mills — including ones that got big taxpayer transition packages.
They're following the trucks, the money, and the ancient trees. Jobs vs. forests, regional towns vs. conservation battles in NSW too. Classic "zombie industry" stuff.#FourCorners #NativeForests #OldGrowth #Tasmania #Logging #Environment #Conservation #AustralianForests #ClimateAction

One thing I often forget that always gets me extra fascinated about life is the thing you get excited about usually will get other people excited about it too. Like an emotional transfer of excitement or joy takes over. Definitely a real important feature to note while guiding. Sharing that with someone who might not have ever noticed, might help make it more interesting to them. So I always try to show my excitement for old growth trees and that got my students last week excited about old growth trees. Then they thanked me for sharing my "nature wisdom" lol. Share your joys!

Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.
I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.
They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢
These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷♂️
A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.
Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.
