🌳 STOP TOPPING TREES! ❌
Topping means severely cutting back a tree, leaving large stubs. It can cause decay, encourage weakly attached shoots, and make trees more hazardous over time.
🌱 The better way: preserve the tree’s natural form, remove only what is necessary, and prune carefully.
The best solution is often to plant the right tree in the right place. Healthy trees don’t need to be destroyed to be managed—they need to be understood and protected. 🌍💚

Plant fruit trees. Protect the ones we already have. 🌳🍊 Fruit trees feed families, support wildlife, cool our communities, improve air quality, store carbon, and strengthen food security for generations. Every tree saved or planted is an investment in a healthier future. #PlantFruitTrees #ProtectTrees #FoodSecurity #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #GreenFuture #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatejustice #afforestation #environment #nature #deforestation #foodforest #agriculture #agroforestry

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.

My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"🌲💦 💗🦅🌲🦉🌲 Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.

+++Update about the eviction situation+++
At the moment it is still relatively calm in the forest in terms of police presence. We therefore don't have any clear signs that the eviction will start tomorrow. However, we are still threatened by eviction, and expect it to start around 15.02. We also still need support in the forest to build structures and to prepare the skillshare weekend. Come by tomorrow to support us!
