An incredibly rare patch of old-growth forest with extremely well-established enchanter's nightshade fighting against other common woodland species and retaining a significant patch. Enchanter's nightshade, circaea lutetiana, is an ancient woodland indicator species, and in this specific case, indicates a soil that hasn't been disturbed for potentially over a millenia, enabling a soil E-horizon to form.

Taking the road less traveled is never easy, it often isn't smooth, but my oh my it sure has moments that are extra beautiful.

I half expected to see Totoro lounging in the moss. I did get hit with some acorns though

Sunday reflection time could not be better: Picking raspberries in my thriving garden while listening to Robin Wall Kimmerer read her essay "Becoming Earth: An Experimental Theology" in Emergence Magazine https://pca.st/episode/6ef8aafc-aea8-436e-b25a-5bb8939df9d3. #trees #ecology #death #rebirth #emergence #plants #soil #humus #SoilScience #forest #OldGrowthForest #CarbonCycle #environment #science

This past weekend I met up with @morgancarmont to go explore the forests of #VancouverIsland. To say we had an epic weekend would be an understatement.
Amongst our many adventures, we found a new #oldgrowthforest to explore and I had to take a photo in front of one - the size of them is just incomprehensible otherwise. For reference, I am over 187cm tall. This single Big Leaf Maple is easily 5m+ diameter at its base.

"Elsewhere in the state, tracts of old-growth oak have been clearcut to make way for utility-scale solar farms."

#FlashbackFriday
2020.I was invited to go on a #flotilla #protest led by #IndigenousChiefs & leaders from the North Island in late 2019 - we went in March of 2020. To stop 2 open net fish farms, in the #DiscoveryIslands archipelago, from restocking their pens. These fish farms are remote & they don't want public to access them. No restocking was able to happen on day we went on flotilla protest & patrol.
I've been a part of the battle here to get #FishFarmsOut for over a decade. There's finally some progress but we need to still keep up the pressure on federal & provincial governments.
#SaveWildSalmon because they're a #KeystoneSpecies & if we lose them, it sets off chain reactions in both #ocean & #OldGrowthForest #ecosystems. Wild salmon are extremely important to the Indigenous peoples of BC & the fight to protect them goes back decades.Always put #WildFirst ✊️

#Fash much, #UK? #Preemptive arrests of #ClimateActivists, but it's perfectly fine to be a #FarRight #AntiImmigrant #Fascist?
Mass pre-emptive arrest of #ReclaimThePower #activists in #Yorkshire
Aug 8, 2024
22 held as police foil plot to bring #CompostToilets and #wheelchair track to #Drax #ClimateCamp
"UPDATE 13.30: the climate camp has now been cancelled
"Officers from the Metropolitan police this morning led local forces in a raid on Bentley Urban Farm in Doncaster, said eye witnesses. They arrested twenty two activists, who were preparing to transport infrastructure, sanitation and accessibility equipment to the upcoming climate camp at Drax power station.
"Crashing sounds were heard from outside the site as vehicles and equipment were impounded. The detainees were taken to York police station, where they are being held for conspiracy charges: in this case, to interfere with key national infrastructure at Drax Power Station in Selby between 8 and 13 August. Media repeated the police’s claim they are “not against protest but against crime”.
"This morning’s pre-emptive arrests, ahead of a peaceful protest, contrast sharply with the State’s failure to foil recent far right violence, said Reclaim the Power. 'Black and Brown communities are under attack with fire and bricks and the police have made the unfathomable decision to divert resources away from those communities to arrest 22 people taking equipment to make a peaceful climate protest safe and accessible', said the group in a statement."

A Legacy of Logging
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-01/ai-analysis-finds-failed-forest-regrowth-after-logging-/103153614This is an environmental shitshow. Successive governments over the years have mismanaged our forests, and viewed them as a resource that can be extracted from over and over again. Logging by VicForests should have stopped decades ago, and it's been clear that their claims of regrowing / regenerating areas they logged have failed. Claims of carbon sequestration by replanting in cleared forests don't stack up, and it does little to prevent or repair harm to the rain/water/catchment cycle.
The legacy of logging on Victoria is permanent damage to the environment.#Environment #Forests #Forestry #OldGrowthForest #AusPol #VicPol

And so my flimsy hope of Australian Labor doing anything useful to address #SpeciesExtinctions dies. This act of announcing dinner being served when the food is not cooked is very LNP Morrisonesque.
