#FlashbackFriday 2019.

Big Lonely Doug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world. Found along the Pacific Circle Route, between #PortRenfrew & Lake #Cowichan - in the Gordon River valley range. It's surrounded by clearcuts. You can't miss seeing it because it stands out, amongst the ecocide.

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"

@Eka_FOOF_A @VoxOfGod I found #kombu & #nori - prized #Japanese #gourmet #seaweeds, at an isolated beach near #PortRenfrew 😃

#Beach gooseneck #barnacles find.
There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies. Barnacles are a longtime, year-round staple #seafood for coastal #Indigenous #FirstNations. In particular, the #Haida & #Kwakwakawakw & #Pacheedaht #FirstPeoples have several documented stories involving barnacles, including food prep recorded histories.

Barnacles are #ancient and can be dated to the middle of Cambrian period of Paleozoic because of Burgess Shale deposits in #BritishColumbia. They're #hermaphroditic #MarineAnimals.

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

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.

The #documentary film that I'm featured in is now available for #free viewing:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4q_dXo7Bw

It includes footage & shared #deforestation issues with the #Amazon. It's all connected.

I'm holding back tears near the end of it. I was arrested a few days after doing the documentary film interview at gate to River & Landback resistance camps.

#Nature is #reclaiming old industrial #remains from #logging camp - #ShirleyBC - between #Tsouke / #Sooke & #Pacheedaht / #PortRenfrew . #Rusty #metal #rope on #TreesKnees .
If you bushwhack through overgrown areas, you'll find ruins from old Muir farm homestead & logging workers' camps. Hard to access those areas now that Mosiac put gates up almost everywhere ☹

#PortRenfrew #dock & marina. There's a pub & rental cabins on site. Great crabbing & shrimping area. You can catch from the dock with traps, very long rope & saltwater license.
